Plot Introduction of "Silver Mansion Golden Powder":
In the first silver house of Foshan, Guangdong - "Shang Silver House", it faces a business crisis. Master Shang, Shang Keng (Qin沛), in order to obtain a loan from the Shen family, forces Second Master Shang Yun (Wu Wei Guo) to marry Miss Shen Yongtong (Yang Wanyi) through scheming with his wife Sai Xiaodie (Xue Jia Yan). This causes Yun’s beloved Cheng Xiuqing (Wu Yongwei) to angrily marry into the Shang family as the third concubine. From then on, Yun and Keng become sworn enemies, and Yun travels overseas, severing all ties with his brother.
It isn’t until the day of the Old Master’s birthday that Yun returns home, only for their youngest son to be kidnapped. Keng refuses to admit to falsely accusing a shop assistant at the Shang Silver House, which ultimately leads to his death, causing another conflict between the brothers. Yun decides to split the family.
On the other hand, since Yun returned, Xiuqing has been neglected by Keng, causing her great pain. She is also falsely accused of causing the miscarriage of the fourth concubine Feifei (Hu Dingxin). Determined to seek revenge on the Shang family, she uses the lingering feelings between her and Yun to manipulate the entire Shang household. She further exposes the truth about the maid Qiujun (Yang Siqi), who turns out to be the illegitimate child of Keng and a married woman. These series of events bring disgrace upon the once prestigious family, leading to its ultimate downfall…
