[1] Bai Lao Taiye, who ran a money shop in the city, was kidnapped and rescued through the mediation of the influential Lin family. Bai Lao Taiye brought his 15-year-old only son Bai Ziyi to the Lin family to express gratitude and was forced to agree to an unreasonable request from Lin Lao Taiye, which was for Bai Ziyi to marry Lin Yanjiao, the eldest daughter of the Lin family who was eight years older than him. A contract was established: if Lin Yanjiao could not bear children, Bai Ziyi would have no right to choose his own spouse but instead must let Lin Yanjiao choose for him, and all the sons born would be raised under Lin Yanjiao's name. To thank the Lin family for saving their lives, the Bai family helplessly agreed to the harsh conditions set by the Lin family. However, they did not know that all this was a conspiracy trap set by the Lin family to eventually swallow up the Bai family's ancestral business.
Lin Yanjiao married into the Bai family for more than ten years and indeed failed to give birth to any male or female children for the Bai family. In order to control Bai Ziyi and consolidate her position in the Bai family, Lin Yanjiao invoked the ancestral rules and arranged for a distant relative, Yu Meilan, to be forcibly given to Bai Ziyi as a concubine.
Soon after, Yu Meilan gave birth to a girl for Bai Ziyi. Lin Yanjiao designed a scheme to switch the girl with a boy, naming him Wang'er. According to the old rules of the Bai family, she adopted and raised Wang'er under her own name. She also arranged for her younger brother, Lin Wangxing, to work in the Bai family money shop. They colluded inside and outside, causing trouble when Bai Ziyi was not in the money shop, squeezing out and suppressing Mr. Li, the upright elder manager who had worked in the Bai family money shop for decades. They tried every way to transfer the real power of the money shop to Lin Wangxing's hands, aiming to control the Bai family money shop.
To further consolidate her position in the Bai family mansion, Lin Yanjiao used her dowry maid Xiangling, employing both coercion and persuasion on the concubines who had married into the family, using two-faced tactics. This led to a farce of intrigue and betrayal between the masters and servants. But facing the cunning Lin Yanjiao, Xiangling and the concubines' dreams of becoming the mistress of the mansion were dashed.
In the play, Madam Lin Yanjiao is the symbol of feudal forces. Relying on the fact that the Lin family was the Bai family's life-saving benefactor, she openly clung to the so-called ancestral rules and regulations of the Bai family, manipulating Bai Ziyi and trying to control everything in the Bai family. Secretly, however, she colluded with her younger brother Lin Wangxing, manipulating the fake mute gardener to control the Bai family mansion, aiming to swallow up the Bai family's ancestral business.
In the drama, Master Bai Ziyi undergoes a transformation process from confusion to clarity, from submission to resistance. He was initially a weak person, intimidated by the ancestral rules and the authority of his wife who was eight years older than him, passively allowing himself to be manipulated. For the continuation of the Bai family lineage and the revitalization of the family business, he reluctantly agreed to marry the person chosen by Lin Yanjiao as a concubine. But after being deceived and fooled time and again, he saw through Lin Yanjiao's sinister intentions. With the reminders and help of Manager Li and Aunt Yuan, he rallied. After Lin Yanjiao's plot was uncovered...
