"Forgiveness" tells the story of the emotional entanglements and complex life trajectories of several educated youths during the 1960s and 70s. The narrative is simple yet profound, with twists and turns in the plot. Synopsis: Dance performer Li Rong is about to have her first performance and is deeply in love with her boyfriend, Qu Zhe, preparing to get married. Just as her career and life are about to open a grand chapter, a blow comes—just before the performance begins, their parents meet and realize they are old acquaintances. Li Rong's mother, Xu Qing, loses her composure and vehemently opposes their marriage. Li Rong and Qu Zhe struggle fiercely against this opposition, and in despair, the true history of that era is gradually revealed... In the 1970s, Xu Qing, Qu Lin, Huang Nana, and Meng Xiangdong are educated youths at the same site. Qu Lin falls in love with Xu Qing. However, Huang Nana, who grew up with Qu Lin, cannot accept that he has fallen in love with Xu Qing. Xu Qing also desperately avoids Qu Lin, but the passionate love of their youth ultimately breaks through all concerns, and Xu Qing and Qu Lin fall deeply in love. In a snowstorm where they believe they may die, they taste forbidden fruit. After being rescued, they begin to prepare for marriage. Huang Nana is unwilling to lose Qu Lin forever, and while everyone returns home for the New Year, she drunkenly seduces Qu Lin, only to be caught by the team leader, leading to their confinement. To protect Huang Nana's reputation, Qu Lin takes on the unfounded blame, while Meng Xiangdong, who secretly loves Huang Nana, conspires against him. Due to political and personal issues, Qu Lin is imprisoned. While being transferred to prison, the prisoner's vehicle overturns. Xu Qing encounters people carrying the victims of the accident, and under the white cloth, she sees a hand wearing Qu Lin's watch, leading her to believe it is Qu Lin, and she is devastated... At this time, Xu Qing discovers she is pregnant, and when she escapes home, her mother dies from anger. Unable to get an abortion and seeking death, she is saved by the kind-hearted Li Shuan Zhu. With his help, she gives birth to a daughter, who is Li Rong. After Qu Lin is released from prison, Huang Nana, who is already preparing to marry Meng Xiangdong, is tormented by guilt and insists on marrying Qu Lin, giving birth to Qu Zhe. This means that Li Rong and Qu Zhe are half-siblings. Upon learning this news, both are devastated; Li Rong develops anorexia and falls off the stage during a performance. Although she is rescued, she loses her beloved dance career forever... Qu Lin is also haunted by the pain of those years and, grateful for Xu Qing's hardships over the years, seeks to resolve their misunderstandings. Their feelings have never faded from their hearts, and they face choices between reality and emotion... Li Rong deeply loves her adoptive father, Li Shuan Zhu, and hates Qu Lin, while Huang Nana and Qu Lin's marriage is always discordant. Despite Qu Lin and Xu Qing's efforts to control the situation, turmoil arises in both families. Li Shuan Zhu chooses to leave home, painfully trying to support their love. At this time, Meng Xiangdong returns from abroad in disarray, eyeing Qu Lin and Huang Nana's family business, hoping to rekindle his relationship with Huang Nana. However, Huang Nana falls into extreme despair, as after marrying Qu Lin, she wanted a simple life, while Qu Lin aspired to achieve his ideals. Their communication falters, especially with Meng Xiangdong's constant temptations leading to an accidental encounter that results in pregnancy. For many years, she has lived in fear, not knowing who Qu Zhe's father truly is! With the help of neighbor Zhao Qiao Shen, Li Rong gradually steps out of the shadows and considers engagement with him. Yet she feels a painful absence of love. Qu Zhe also discovers he still loves Li Rong deeply and feels very frustrated. At this moment, Qu Zhe keenly senses his mother’s secret and, using his status as a doctor, secretly conducts a paternity test, discovering he is not Qu Lin's son... Qu Zhe is conflicted; on one hand, he wants to reclaim his love, and on the other, he feels guilty towards his loving father. Ultimately, Huang Nana chooses to commit suicide. After rescuing her mother, Qu Zhe vows to keep this secret forever... Meng Xiangdong, frustrated with his failure to break up Qu Lin and Huang Nana, begins plotting to ruin Qu Lin's pharmaceutical company. He sells a large quantity of a new asthma medication for children to Qu's Pharmaceuticals. Qu Zhe discovers the drug has severe side effects. Qu Lin, risking bankruptcy, decisively destroys all the medication and demands Meng Xiangdong do the same to prevent it from hitting the market. Meng Xiangdong, blinded by greed, refuses and frames Qu Zhe in a bid to fully undermine Qu Lin. Just as Qu Zhe is about to be imprisoned, Huang Nana, for her son’s sake, gives up all pride and desperately tells Meng Xiangdong that Qu Zhe is his son, shocking him... A tiger does not eat its cubs; in the end, he spares Qu Zhe. However, Qu Zhe suffers even more, unable to marry his true love and rejecting his biological father's disgracefulness; he chooses to aid in Tibet. Qu Lin finally learns Qu Zhe is not his biological son. Having always been strong, he is finally deeply impacted, leaving home to stay at his company. Huang Nana feels ashamed of her actions and voluntarily proposes divorce. Li Shuan Zhu also insists on divorcing Xu Qing. Thus, can Qu Lin and Xu Qing, this couple tormented by fate, reunite? Will they choose to forgive or forget all that has led to their destiny? Li Rong’s wedding with Zhao Qiao Shen is about to take place, while Qu Zhe is expected to attend. What kind of thoughts swirl in his mind?… Perhaps, the process of life is always filled with helplessness and mistakes, but the best way we can choose is still to forgive…
