YU-HIN likes CHUN-YUK, and asked MOU-KUEN for her hand for YIK-HUN. But he changed his mind when he found out where she works. He wanted his son to join the Imperia exam, but the system is cancelled. He then purchased a ran] for him instead. YIK-HUN felt sad about leaving but for his own future, he agreed. CHUN-YUK fell off a cliff while running away from the man. But she was saved

by LOK MAY-YUNE, an opera performer. With no where to go, she followed him as his assistance. MOU-KUEN thought CHUN-YUK is dead, and asked LIN-LON for repayment. She did it in kindness, but his mind's still with CHUN-YUK. YUK-HIN has got a position in the Government through help of a relative.

CHUN-YUK started to avoid MAY-YUNE when he tried to be too close. After PAK-NIN died, YIK-CHEE felt very lonely. HG-FU approached with tender loving care. She excepted him without fear for disapproval. YIK-HUN went with his uncle, JONG MAN-HAN, to inspect a fire that was set burning the opera house. He also met CHUN-YUK and they had a heart to heart talk. JON MAN-HAN on the other hand have set eyes on MAY-YUNE, and tried to get close to him. He somehow liked his persuasion of wealth. HG-FU and YIK-CHEE are now in the open. Although attacked by society, they insisted to be together.

WAI-HAN became very ill from missing her children. YU-HIN quickly sent for them. MAY-YUNE asked for CHUN-YUK's hand in marriage, and she in turn asked for YIK-HUN's opinion. He approved of the marriage and she is very hurt. After leaving her, YIK-HUN realized he really loves her. So he sent a letter and asked her to wait for his return. That puzzles her. WAI-HAN is happy about the returned children, but she also wanted to see YIK-HUN married. They match-made for him, and he is in agony." CHUN-YUK went to him after receiving the letter. But she left angrily when she saw him marrying someone else. He is deeply moved by her love and decided to be with her forever. Soon after they left, his mother died and left him with guilt since.

After his wife died, YU-HIN felt lonely. He let his old servant, KAM-FUK take care of the business, and went to YIK-CHEE who had invited him to stay.

YIN-HUN is now a tutor to a very spoiled kid. That reminded him of himself, and he left with pain in memory, Since he’s jobless, CHUN-YUK has to work. He resisted the idea of asking help from his father.

YU-HIN met HA-MAI in a gambling house, and they both felt surprisingly close to each other.

YIK-HUN followed CHUN-YUK giving a helping hand, but the colleagues laughed at his experience. One day he saved a child from drowning, and they all changed their minds about him.

MAY-YUNE tried to persuade CHUN-YUK to leave YIK-HUN and be with him. She declined.

YIK-HUN is unhappy about being jobless.LEE TAI-CHE reminded him of the country is in need of help. He sprung to the idea.

PAT-TUNG co-operate with MOU-KUEN for tea trade.

HA-MAI cannot be promoted because of his special background. That made him mad and hated his mother.

KAN-YE and LEE TAI-CHE had joined the revolution. They’re ordered to assassinate an officer, LEE KIN-WO, and KAN-YE got wounded.

PAT-TUNG and MOU-KUEN trade firearms to the revolutionist. They hide the merchandise in the club, and by accident it exploded. They bribed HA-MAI and blamed it to the night watchman. MAY-YUNE kept giving gifts to CHUN-YUK, and YIK-HUN is mad. After she scot him, they announced their wedding. YIK-HUN followed TAI-CHE and found KAN-YE wounded. Understanding their intention and admiring them, he took back him back for treatment. PAT-TUNG and MOU-KUEN set a trap for YU-HIN so that he can pay for their financial mistakes. During the wedding, a group of soldiers shot at them. They escaped.

KAN-YE took on the secret mission personally and left for Shanghai. But YU- HIN stopped him because he is still unfit, and went for him. YU-KAI overheard about the conspiracy towards his brother, and told him. While being doubtful, YU-HIN found prove. In his anger, he left shanqhai and went back home. HQ-FU disapproved of his father’s behaviour and they had a fight. The revolution party had a warehouse where they hide firearms for later use. It's next door to the YU's warehouse. YIK-HUN arrived at the warehouse and saw the place had been searched. He was caught later when HA-MAI found the firearms hidden in the tea warehouse of his father.

YIK-CHEE thought he has been used by the Party, and asked him to tell on the others. But he insisted he's one of them and rather die then tell. YIK-CHEE thought the head of police, Nelson, can help her brother and went to him. He tricked her to HA-MAI's house, and tried to seduce her. HA-MAI came back in time and set fire to the house and saved her. NELSON tried again and ransacked her house to search for YIK-HUN as an excuse to provoke her. H0-FU stood up for her. YIK-HUN escaped and on his way to meet the Party member. He met HA-MAI and the members helped him to question about LEE KIN-WO's whereabouts. Knowing LEE will be at the whore house that evening, they. set a plan to assassinate him. NELSON concealed the death of LEE from the Government, and killed...

CHUN-YUK left MAY-YUNE to look for YIK-HUN. NELSON was ordered to take the LEE murder case. He went to HA-MAI for information, but failed. He again tried to get YIK-HUN. YIK-HUN asked HA-MAI to notify YU-KAI to pick up CHUN-YUK when she arrives. ~ He got caught by NELSON, and everybody thought HA-MAI betrayed him. YIK-CHEE went to Nelson again for information. He told her YIK-HUN's dead. She believed it. NELSON has got YIK-HUN and imprisoned him at KO's house, and HA-MAI has to watch him. HA-MAI wanted to tell H0-FU, but scared of NELSON's power.

CHUN-YUK, although hurt, strongly believed YIK-HUN is not dead. She met MOU-KUEN and went back with him, and found YIK-HUN is being imprisoned there. She spend the night with MOU-KUEN to have a better chance to save YIK-HUN. YIK-CHEE went to question NELSON about his lie. He took the chance and seduced her. While fighting to get loose, she remembered he's the man who had raped her before. She had him killed accidently. She ran back for help, and KAN-YE first got YIK-HUN freed,. and then put NELSON's body in a bag and dumped it to MOU-KUEN's garden. YIK-CHEE told H0-FU about the pass. He blamed her for being dishonest and asked her to leave Shanghai to start a new life without him.

HA-MAI was ordered to arrest YIK-CHEE, but by chance he found out she is his mother. He took her back to the YU house and blamed MOU-KUEN instead. MOU?KUEN resented that and bribed the force to arrest him. YIK-HUN wanted to marry CHUN-YUK. She found out she is pregnant with MOU-KUEN and wanted an abortion. He promised to treat the child as his own. YIK-CHEE didn't want HA-MAI to be in trouble because of her, so she committed ‧.. suicide. For revenge, MOU-KUEN took away the baby, until CHUN-YUK is forced to tell him it's his own flesh and blood. What really happened next? Please watch the ending!
