Features: The only son of a wine-making family, Qian Yaoting, goes to great lengths to prevent his father's favored adopted son, Liu Yuanbin, from inheriting the family estate, even at the cost of destroying the Liu family. The loyal servant Liu Guigu, along with the two young descendants of the Liu family, flees into exile. Twenty years later, the grown Liu brothers, disguised as Liu Shishen and Liu Shijie, return to Shanghai. Unaware of their true identities, Liu Shishen accidentally enters the Qian family and, with his wit and intelligence, quickly becomes Qian Yaoting's right-hand man. The unexpected appearance of Liu Guigu finally reveals Shishen's true identity. When Qian Yaoting's crimes are exposed, he commits a violent act with a gun. Shishen witnesses the brutal murder of his mother and Liu Guigu, and the immense grief stirs a strong desire for revenge. From then on, Shishen not only loses his first love but also marries Xuelin, who he does not love, and uses Wang Yuemei as bait, pushing her into the arms of Gong Jialiang to fight against the Qian family. Shishen becomes increasingly ruthless, and Xuelin, Shijie, and Yuemei are all drawn into this family feud. However, Shishen is unexpectedly struck by a feeling he would never allow himself to have—he falls in love with Qian Xuezhen, the daughter of his enemy, the second daughter of the Qian family. Xuezhen also sees through Shishen's plot, tearing away his facade, and they are forced to face each other with guns.
