In the late Qing Dynasty, in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The eldest wife of the Rong family (played by Gui Yalei) knew that her husband was living with a socialite named Yanhong in the city, and the master seemed to have no intention of returning home. All this was because the eldest wife had been childless for many years. In order to get the master to return home, she fell in love with the daughter of the tenant farmer, Xiuhe (played by Zhou Xun). Because Xiuhe had a face exactly like her own when she was young, she decided to use her to win back the master's favor and make the Rong family have an heir. However, no one expected what happened next. The younger uncle of the Rong family (played by Huang Lei) fell in love with Xiuhe and had sex. When Xiuhe was pregnant, the whole family was overjoyed, until a more shocking truth came out-it turned out that the master was infertile, and Xiuhe's pregnancy became the biggest irony.
