Tshui-Giok’s step-father sells her to a club to pay off his debt. But when her boyfriend, Kok-Liong, learns about it he helps get her out and plans to marry her. However, Kok-Liong’s mother disapproves of the marriage and arranges for him to marry a wealthy girl, Hun-Kiau. Years later, when Kok-Liong and Tshui-Giok meet again, all their feelings return. Though Tshui-Giok ultimately decides to break up with Kok-Liong for the sake of Hun-Kiau, her leaving drives Kok-Liong mad and Hun-Kiau has no choice but to set Kok-Liong free, so he and Tshui-Giok can be together.
The film is adapted from CHIN Hsing-Chi’s popular novel Leng Nuan Jen Chien, though its wartime atmosphere and female protagonist’s personal struggles are removed to focus on the love triangle in order to make it a family melodrama. Told from an omniscient point of view, the film not only carries a well-executed narrative, a gripping storyline and strong emotions, it also reshapes characters to adapt to its form of visual storytelling, placing it at the pinnacle of the Taiwanese-language family melodrama genre.
