In 1937, Manchuria was occupied by Japanese forces.

After Ping On's mother dies and the ups and downs along the way, the two eventually get to live with him, but are segregated.
Follow the Marco Polo Bridge Incident (also known as July 7 incident of China) Nanjing fell to Japanese forces. Soon, Ping On found out that Hau Yee, with whom she grew up, was actually the son of the Japanese military officer, Chung Tin Ngai. She also discovered that Hau Yee, whom she considered to be her fiancé, was actually in love with Cheng Yuet Fung, the fourth wife of her father. Eventually Yuet Fung fell in love with Hau Yee.
