Beijing - The Zheng Family Chapter: Zheng Jianfan’s ex-wife's daughter, Lily, suddenly comes to seek refuge with her father, whom she hasn't seen in many years. At over forty, Zheng Jianfan went to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps at the age of 16. After finally getting transferred back to the city, he works as a chemistry teacher in a secondary school. The appearance of his daughter makes him both happy and anxious, fearing that his wife, Baofeng, will not accept Lily. He has no choice but to temporarily arrange for his daughter to stay in a guesthouse. Zheng Jianfan goes to great lengths to hide the truth and subtly probes Baofeng, hoping she will accept Lily back home, which eventually touches the kind-hearted Baofeng. Shanghai - The Man Family Chapter: Man Jiangping grew up in a rural area of Northeast China. After graduating from university, he married the beautiful Yu Bei and became the son-in-law of a family from Shanghai. After working for six or seven years and having a daughter named Xue'er, he still hasn't managed to secure a decent job, which frustrates both him and Yu's family. As the saying goes, a son brings honor to his mother. When Man Jiangping's mother and wife come from Northeast China to visit, they naturally receive cold treatment from the snobbish Yu family. Man's mother also disapproves of her daughter-in-law Yu Bei, causing Man Jiangping to suffer between the two, leading to discord in the once-loving couple. When Yu Bei returns home and opens her front door, she is shocked to find clothes scattered everywhere and discovers Man Jiangping naked in bed with a rural girl named Ma Ya. The marriage of Yu's younger brother brings out the villain Xiao Jun, and the kind-hearted Yu Bei falls into a sexual trap. Consequently, Man Jiangping's life spirals into disaster. Binhai - The Zhou Family Chapter: Engineer Zhou Zheng's wife, Shi Huajin, successfully runs for office and becomes the deputy mayor in charge of the economy of the city. This leaves Zhou Zheng, who was originally sharp-witted, feeling quite displeased, and his spirited nature diminishes considerably. Although his wife still loves him as before, he transforms from a well-known engineer and public darling into the "mayor's lover." Zhou Zheng's mindset becomes unbalanced, and his troubles increase. The young and lively Lin Kun enters Zhou Zheng's emotional sphere, and he, no longer willing to live in the shadow of being the "mayor's lover," separates from Shi Huajin. She doesn't know where she went wrong. She loves her husband and does not want to lose her happiness and family. Out of jealousy toward the love between Shi Huajin and Zhou Zheng, Lin Kun becomes an accomplice of the villain and becomes pregnant with Qin Zhen's child. Later, she discovers that Zhou Zheng is her biological uncle and mistakenly believes she is Qin Zhen's illegitimate daughter, shamefully committing suicide by jumping off a building.
