In the spring of the 24th year of the Republic, Yan Shuhong, the richest man in Nanxun, was poisoned on the night of his fiftieth birthday. The eldest son, Yan Zhengqing, who had been living away from home, inherited his father's legacy—the vast library of Haotantang—just as his father was on his deathbed. Soon after, the family's ancestral gold medallion sparked a fierce competition among the wives of the three branches, but at that moment, the master astonishingly came back to life. Actually, the master did not really die; he was merely poisoned with a substance called "Revival Powder," and it was his fourth concubine, Shan Qing, who poisoned him. Who would have thought that the one who had accompanied the master for eight years would be a descendant of the Wei family, who harbored deep-seated grudges against the Yan family? It turns out that during the Kangxi era, a member of the Nanxun Wei family angered the Qing court by secretly studying Ming history and was subsequently exterminated along with his family. The informers were the Yan, Jian, and Ai families, who were richly rewarded by the court; the library, which symbolized the Wei family's honor, was passed to the Yan family, and each family received a gold medallion related to the library. For 300 years, the Wei descendants never forgot their family's hatred after their ancestors' demise, continuously sending women to infiltrate the Yan family for revenge, determined to reclaim the library and the gold medallions. The Jian family, which had been smoothly conducting business in Shanghai, saw Jian Huanzhang instigating the Ai family to call off the engagement with the Yan family during Yan Shuhong's birthday banquet. Everyone understood that the engagement was just for show, while the real motive was to secure the gold medallions associated with the library. How could Yan Shuhong swallow such humiliation? Thus, a conspiracy ensued. Ai Chongyuan was suddenly kidnapped, and his daughter, Ai Linghui, forced to marry into the Yan family to repay the favor of the Yan family for rescuing her father, became the wife of the eldest son, Yan Zhengqing. Neither Zhengqing nor Linghui expected that, originally two people who did not love each other, would find their love rooted in hardship, leading their hearts to cherish each other for a lifetime. Back then, when Yan Shuhong discovered that his eldest son Zhengqing was in love with a girl suspected to be a descendant of the Wei family, he dispatched his fourth concubine to kill her. However, the girl did not actually die; years later, transformed into a foreign student named Tan Ruoyun, she married the third son, Yan Zhengming. When Yun returned to the mansion, how would Yan Shuhong, Yan Zhengqing, the fourth concubine, and Yan Zhengming face her? The second son, Yan Zhengbai, who was devoted to studying business and returned from Japan, revealed a shocking secret to everyone—there might be thousands of gold books in the library! Surrounding this secret, undercurrents surged around the Yan family, and many pairs of eyes fixated on the library, inquiring about the whereabouts of the three gold medallions. A bloody struggle began, and the fate of the three brothers became intricately linked to the library. In this bloody conflict, those who originally had family grievances ultimately set aside their hatred due to a common pursuit because they all loved the library! They all loved their family!
