Although Ju Xiang became deaf-mute due to a childhood illness, she is kind, beautiful, and talented. Due to their status in the Huang family, Ju Xiang and her mother were treated as servants. Running away from her arranged marriage, she gets rescued by Yamamoto Yousuke, and the two marry to have a daughter, Yue Niang.
After World War II, Yue Niang loses her parents, seeks refuge with the Huang family, and picks up her mother's talent in cooking and embroidery.
