In the 1930s, in Shanghai, Chen Zikun (Chen Kun), a clerk at Huaxin Watch Shop, and Fang Ziyi (Luo Haiqiong), the daughter of the shop owner, were experiencing their first love in life, secretly in love with each other despite the boss's picky attitude. However, they were involved in a storm because they met An Qi (Li Xiaoran), and their life trajectories were completely different from then on. Zikun and An Qi were imprisoned. Ziyi broke into the Du family to save Zikun, which frightened Du Xinyu (Zhou Xun), the daughter of the Du family, who had suffered from heart disease since childhood. After failing to rescue her, she got into trouble. Later, she asked her classmate Fan Lijun's cousin Li Yingqi (Lu Yi) to rescue Zikun. Yingqi developed a good impression of Ziyi, and at this time, he was arranged by his family to marry Lijun. When Zikun went to the Du family to claim compensation, Xinyu liked him and was willing to open her heart to him. Seeing this hard-won scene, Du Yunhe hurried to please Zikun, hoping that he could stay with Xinyu and become his son-in-law. Zikun only has Ziyi in his heart, but he doesn't know that Li Yingqi has already started to pursue Ziyi passionately. Ziyi insists on not following, but her heart is melting little by little. She is worried about her good friend Fan Lijun. Du Yunhe's subordinate Alai (played by Sun Honglei) falls in love with the lonely and stubborn Anqi, but Anqi can't stand his lackey face. She loves the handsome and gentle Li Yingqi, and opens a flower shop with the help of Yingqi. Later, the flower shop was smashed and she was forced to be a dancer, but she was protected and cared for by Alai, and Anqi changed her view of Alai. Zikun gradually fell in love with the innocent and kind Xinyu. In order to clarify his feelings, he went out to sea. After returning, he broke up with Ziyi because he couldn't give her a rich life. Ziyi left sadly. Li Yingqi escaped from marriage in the church and took Ziyi away, but was forced to come back under the means of Fan Lijun. From then on, Ziyi lived a tortured life. Zikun and Xinyu lived a poetic life in a paradise arranged by Du Yunhe, but they couldn't resist the temptation and returned to Shanghai. A bloody storm was inevitable. The fate of this group of infatuated men and resentful women was entangled together, interpreting a magnificent story of destiny.
