The late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
The maid Zhuang Ruoshui was forced to marry into the Lu Mansion due to a farce. The groom Lu Zichen actually ran away, causing her to worship a rooster. After he came back, he humiliated her in every possible way and tried all kinds of bad ideas to "tame" her in the hope that she would quit despite the "difficulty". He even married an eldest lady, turning Ruoshui from a young mistress to a concubine, and then from a concubine to a slave...
When he saw Zhuang Ruoshui "falling" in love with the second young master Lu Zifeng, Lu Zichen became jealous and started a battle with him to seize his wife...
Faced with Lu Zichen's selfish and overbearing love, can they become a happy couple?
