Description:
By the Hao River in Qingxi Village, Lian Hua, the pregnant daughter-in-law of the Chen family, is waiting for her husband Fu Gen to return, only to learn that he has died of a serious illness. Wu Shun-Hai, a traveling physician who passed through, feels deeply guilty for failing to save Fu Gen. The unfortunate Lian Hua is regarded by her clansmen as an ill-omened jinx and dragged to the village entrance to be burned at the stake. Fortunately, Lian Hua goes into labor and her life is spared. She gives birth to a boy named Long Da, treasures him above all else, and swears to raise him well — but her selfish, greedy brother secretly sells the child. Show more Lian Hua goes to Chongchuan City to look for her son, inquires everywhere with no news, and gradually falls into despair. Meanwhile, in Chongchuan, Zhi Er, the third concubine of Ye Da-Chang, the richest man in the city, gives birth to a son named Fu Gui-Hou, and a wet nurse is sought everywhere. Lian Hua stumbles into the Ye household and becomes the wet nurse of the young master Fu Gui-Hou. Wu Shun-Hai's brother, Wu Xiao-Shou, a famous male midwife, delivered Zhi Er's child, but was killed by the vicious Ye Da-Chang. His wife Hui-Qin plunges into immense grief, and her only comfort is the newly bought infant Bao Er — who is in fact Lian Hua's child. Lian Hua had hoped the Ye household would help her find her son, but there Zhi Er envies Lian Hua's beauty, while Feng-Zhen, to deflate Zhi Er's pride, instead indulges and provokes Ye Da-Chang's interest in Lian Hua; Lian Hua becomes the scapegoat caught in the middle, often beaten and scolded. Lian Hua flees the Ye household hoping to find her child, and meets Shun-Hai, who helps her. The two fall in love but never confess it. Wu Sao takes the adopted Bao Er as her only pillar in life. Their neighbor A Si偶然 learns that Wu Sao's adopted son Bao Er is the very child Lian Hua has been desperately seeking, and while blackmailing Wu Sao, he deceives Lian Hua. After many twists, Shun-Hai finally learns the secret, but by then Wu Sao has vanished with the child… Lian Hua's situation in the Ye household grows even more perilous, as the master presses her harder and harder. Shun-Hai is worn out searching for Wu Sao, and then Wu Sao, gravely ill, is sent back from the countryside. Shun-Hai faces a painful choice: on one hand, Lian Hua is desperately searching for her child; on the other, his sister-in-law believes she will die if she loses Bao Er. After much weighing, Shun-Hai painfully conceals Bao Er's origins from Lian Hua. Facing the master's coercion, Lian Hua agrees to marry him, but on the condition that he help her find her child. Ye Da-Chang instructs the knowing Shui Sheng to kill the child and be done with it, but Shui Sheng cannot bring himself to do it and substitutes a dead infant. Faced with the dead child, Lian Hua falls into utter despair and seeks death, but is saved by Shun-Hai. Heartbroken, Shun-Hai swears to Lian Hua that her child is alive and begs her to live with him. Lian Hua believes she is a woman who brings misfortune and fears harming Shun-Hai, so she leaves him and returns to her nursing child Fu Gui-Hou, who is gravely ill and is saved only by her return. From then on Lian Hua wants only to raise her nursing child, but Ye Da-Chang still wants to possess her. Shun-Hai independently cures the rich merchant Sha Bai-Sheng of a complicated illness and receives his generous thanks; Miss Sha Yu-Ting also secretly develops feelings for him. With their help, Shun-Hai decides to risk rescuing Lian Hua from the Ye household and fleeing Chongchuan. Their plan is exposed; in front of Lian Hua, Ye Da-Chang tries to beat Shun-Hai to death and sends assassins to kill Wu Sao. Wu Sao dies tragically protecting Bao Er. During the wedding to Lian Hua, the grief-stricken Lian Hua suddenly spits blood and faints. Fu Gui-Hou's cries awaken Lian Hua's maternal nature, and her nursing child Fu Gui-Hou becomes her only reason to live on. Ye Da-Chang's eldest son Tian-Lin suddenly returns, carrying a shocking secret: Fu Gui-Hou was not born to Ye Da-Chang and Zhi Er — Tian-Lin is Fu Gui-Hou's biological father. Ye Da-Chang's old rival Sha Bai-Sheng manages to uncover the truth and has his former lover, the second mistress Feng-Zhen, reveal the secret. In a rage, Ye Da-Chang accidentally shoots dead his only biological son, Ye Tian-Lin. To protect Fu Gui-Hou's life, Lian Hua flees the Ye family at all costs and begins a wandering, turbulent life. Shun-Hai, learning the truth of his sister-in-law's murder, wants revenge on Ye Da-Chang, but is restrained by Sha Bai-Sheng. Sha Yu-Ting also confesses her love to Shun-Hai. Learning that Lian Hua is dead, Shun-Hai eventually marries Miss Sha and leaves for distant parts. Seven years later, Shun-Hai's family returns to Chongchuan and begins their revenge. Meanwhile, Ye Da-Chang finds Lian Hua in the desolate mountains and brings her back to the Ye household. Shun-Hai, under the alias Boss You, engages Ye Da-Chang in a series of business battles, but the news of Lian Hua's return to the Ye household disrupts his entire revenge plan. After a bloody slaughter, where will they go? What will become of Fu Gui-Hou and Bao Er? The mother who rose from hell returns to the world of the living at her child's call, while the earthly mother ascends to heaven. When all is calm and Lian Hua is finally reunited with her two children, everyone understands: love is always stronger than hate.
