Rungen, the daughter of a noble family in the late Qing Dynasty, was born into a wealthy family with bells ringing and tripods steaming, but as soon as she came into the world, she was separated from her birth mother due to the腐朽 "dignity" of her adoptive mother, Lady Tuo.
The fall of the Qing Dynasty, the "martyrdom" of her father, and the decline of her family... In the blink of an eye, Rungen, who was naturally kind-hearted, had become a young woman basking in the sunshine of a new era. An unexpected reunion with her childhood friend Jiang Fang turned into a passionate and persistent love, but also triggered intense emotional and ideological conflicts between her and Lady Tuo. What Rungen didn't expect even more was that by this time, Jiang Fang had already become a secret revolutionary. The contradiction between revolution and love caused them all kinds of misunderstandings. And when Rungen finally understood, the news of his "sacrifice" came...
Rungen had a deep mother-daughter affection for Lady Tuo, but their clear-cut differences in ideology and attitude towards life constantly led to conflicts. Not only did she fight for her right to love, but she also regarded kind "inferior people" such as the old chief steward Yin Jingxian, servant荷花 (He Hua), Gui Zi, and the "low-class actor" named Shiyi as her own family members, winning everyone's love and respect.
