The film depicts the decline and downfall of a feudal aristocratic family, dominated by Lord Yang (played by Jing Miao), where complex relationships and conflicts exist among family members. The eldest son of the Yang family dies young, the second son is cowardly, and the third son is a gambler, leaving only the fourth son, Zhi Ying (played by Zong Hua), to take charge. The second concubine (played by Lu Wan Yin) and the third concubine (played by Wu Huan Yi) enjoy stirring up trouble and bullying the first concubine, exacerbating the family's internal strife. The entire family gradually falls apart amidst mutual suspicion and struggles among family members. Furthermore, the second concubine's cousin, Xiong Qi Fang, who manages the finances, secretly hoards weapons, leading to the Yang family facing punishment through raids and confiscation of their property. Under the influence of this series of unfortunate events, Lord Yang ultimately dies from anger, and the Yang family's mansion eventually falls into disrepair. This story reflects the complex relationships and conflicts within a family in a feudal society, as well as the decline of the family resulting from power struggles and personal greed. It also presents the power structure within feudal families and the mutual influence among family members, serving as a revelation and reflection on life in a feudal society.
