Oranges Are Red

A small town in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Qing Dynasty. The eldest wife of the Rong family (played by Gui Yalei) knows that her husband is living with a socialite named Yanhong in the city, and the husband seems to have no intention of returning home. All this is because the eldest wife has nothing to do for many years. In order to let her master come home, she falls in love with Xiuhe (played by Zhou Xun), the daughter of a tenant farmer. Because Xiuhe has a face exactly like hers when she was young, she decides to use her to win back his favor and at the same time make the Rong family have a future. However, no one expected what happened next. The uncle of the Rong family (played by Huang Lei) and Xiuhe fell in love and had the intention of having sex. When Xiuhe was pregnant, the whole family was extremely happy, until an even more shocking truth emerged - it turned out that the master was sterile. At this time, Xiuhe's pregnancy became the biggest irony.
