Fated by a Jade Pendant: The True and Fake Heiresses in Shanghai

In early Republican-era Shanghai, the prominent Mo family welcomed twin daughters, Beibei and Yingying. But the family patriarch, Mo Long, was framed for treason by his political rival, Zhao Kun, and thrown in prison, bringing the family to ruin. To eliminate the family completely, Zhao Kun forced the wet nurse to take Beibei away. Unable to bear abandoning the child, the wet nurse left her at a Jiangnan dock with half of a Mo family jade pendant and claimed she had died in infancy. Her younger sister, Yingying, struggled to survive with their mother, Madam Lin. Qi Xiaoyun, the son of the governor of Jiangnan and Beibei's betrothed, looked after them, and he and Yingying grew up together, gradually falling in love.

Seventeen years later, Beibei, raised by fishermen, heads to Shanghai to make a living with her embroidery skills and jade pendant after her adoptive father is injured by a local bully. At an embroidery exhibition, she unexpectedly meets Yingying and Qi Xiaoyun. Their similar appearances and matching jade pendants unravel the mystery of her identity. Qi Xiaoyun finds himself drawn to Beibei and struggles with his feelings, while the sisters move from suspicion and mistrust to mutual confidence.

Determined to uncover the truth, Beibei's resilience complements Yingying's meticulous nature as they join forces to investigate Zhao Kun's crimes, with Qi Xiaoyun giving them his wholehearted support. At last, they reveal the evidence at a high-society banquet, bringing down Zhao Kun and clearing Mo Long's name. Beibei makes peace with her birth mother and sister, then brings her adoptive parents to live with them. Qi Xiaoyun confesses his feelings and chooses Beibei, while Yingying focuses on her career and realizes her own worth. After weathering the upheavals of a troubled era, the Mo family finally finds peace in reunion and new beginnings.
