The eldest son of the Zhou family Inn, Zhou Puyuan (played by Sun Daolin), runs a coal mining business. He and his second wife, Fan Yi (played by Gu Yongfei), have their second son, Zhou Chong (played by Zhong Hao). As for the mother of his eldest son, Zhou Ping (played by Ma Xiaowei), Zhou Puyuan only said that she passed away early. The young and beautiful Fan Yi couldn't stand the dullness of the Zhou Family Mansion and the gloomy temper of Zhou Puyuan, and developed an incestuous relationship with her eldest son Zhou Ping. This forbidden love affair eventually came to an end due to Zhou Ping's cowardice. Zhou Ping then turned her attention to the family maid Si Feng (played by Zhang Yu). Zhou Ping's relationship with Si Feng made Fan Yi mentally weak, so she sought out Si Feng's mother, hoping to dismiss Si Feng. Shi Ping (played by Qin Yi), who entered the Zhou Mansion, turned out to be the biological mother of Zhou Ping, who was abandoned by Zhou Puyuan thirty years ago and was eventually saved by Lu GUI, the steward of the Zhou family. After learning the truth, Shi Ping couldn't accept the fact that her daughter and son had fallen in love without her knowledge, and the tragedy could no longer be prevented...
