Jian Hong Cheng, the son of the Director of Linshui No.2 Agricultural Machinery Factory, falls in love at first sight with his university classmate Ning Yu. However he was constantly rejected, and only gave up on her when she graduated and got married. His father, Jian Zhi Guo, was injured by his employee Cui Hao, and his health deteriorated, thus passing on the factory to him. In order to secure his son's contracting rights of the factory, Jian Zhi Guo also forces his daughter Jian Min Min to marry his disciple Zhang Li Xin, who temporarily took over as the head of the factory. However, Zhang Li Xin secretly fights for authority. After Jian Zhi Guo passes away, Jian Hong Cheng left his village. Many years later, Yu Ning was betrayed by her husband and got a divorce.
