In 1927, the Northern Expedition was close to victory. At this time, Lin Tongzhen, a national capitalist, and Gu Shaotang, who runs the Youth Gang, are starting a bigger round of competition. Lin Tongzhen's son, Lin Weixian, loves music and only wants to discover Jiangnan folk songs and promote them to the world. Lin Weixian reunited with Hu Yi, his childhood friend and a military officer, and introduced him to Gongsun Lei, a young man from Shandong who came to Shanghai to help him at the dock. From then on, the three young people became sworn friends. By chance, Lin Weixian and Gongsun Lei fell in love with Gu Shaotang's beloved daughter Gu Jiahui, but Jiahui only secretly fell in love with Lin Weixian. The popular Shaoxing opera actress Qingyu is Lin Tongzhi's lover. Lin Tongzhi and Gu Shaotang had a fierce stalemate in the shopping mall. The scheming Gu Shaotang spent a lot of money to buy Qingyu, and thus learned Lin Tongzhi's overall plan, and finally completely defeated Lin Tongzhi in the stock market... Lin Tongzhi committed suicide in anger. At this time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party split, and Hu Yi, who finally chose the Kuomintang camp, was forced to arrest Lin Weixian, who was falsely accused of the Communist Party. In order to get ahead, Gongsun Lei reported Lin Weixian's escape route to Gu Shaotang. Jiahui threatened with death, and Gu Shaotang and Gongsun Lei were forced to let Lin Weixian live. The old housekeeper Yue Le took Lin Weixian back to his hometown of Jiangnan Town. Lin Weixian was so depressed that he was forced to enter the famous Hongji Rice Store in the town.
