Under Qinggeng Peak, the stubborn stone left over from Nuwa's sky-mending is guided by a Buddhist monk and a Taoist priest down to the mortal world to experience the realm of wealth and tender passion. One day, Jia Yucun, an impoverished scholar and close friend of Zhen Shiyin, borrows traveling money from him to go to the capital for the imperial examination. Convinced that the young man is destined for great success, Zhen Shiyin generously gives him the funds, and Yucun leaves for the capital to sit for the examination. Unexpectedly, Zhen Shiyin's beloved daughter, Zhen Yinglian, is abducted by a kidnapper, and the Zhen family subsequently declines after a fire. Jia Yucun lives up to expectations and indeed passes the imperial examination as a jinshi; later, while serving as a local magistrate, he encounters Yinglian, who has been forcibly purchased by Xue Pan. To protect his own interests and avoid offending the four great families, Yucun arbitrarily decides the case. Lin Daiyu (played by Chen Xiaoxu) lost her mother at an early age and has been sickly since childhood.

From then on, Jia Baoyu (played by Ouyang Fenqiang), Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai (played by Zhang Li), Xiren, and a group of other young people together witness the prosperity and decline of the four great families...
