In 1927, the Northern Expedition was approaching victory. At this time, the national capitalist Lin Tongzhen and the leader of the "Green Gang," Gu Shaotang, were beginning a larger confrontation. Lin Tongzhen's son, Lin Weixian, was passionate about music and solely wanted to discover Jiangnan folk songs and promote them to the world. Lin Weixian reunited with his childhood friend, Hu Yicheng, from an officer's family, and they were introduced to a young man from Shandong, Gong Sunlei, who was venturing to Shanghai. From then on, the three young men became close friends. By chance, Lin Weixian and Gong Sunlei both fell in love with Gu Shaotang's beloved daughter, Gu Jiahui, but Jiahui only secretly developed feelings for Lin Weixian. The popular Yue Opera actress, Qingyu, was Lin Tongzhen's mistress. Lin Tongzhen and Gu Shaotang were fiercely entangled in business; the cunning Gu Shaotang bribed Qingyu heavily, learning of Lin Tongzhen's entire plan, and ultimately crushed Lin Tongzhen on the stock market... In a fit of anger, Lin Tongzhen committed suicide. At this time, the Kuomintang and Communist Party had split, and Hu Yi, who chose the Kuomintang camp, was forced to arrest the falsely accused Lin Weixian for "communicating with the enemy." Gong Sunlei, wishing to stand out, reported Lin Weixian's route of escape to Gu Shaotang. Gu Jiahui threatened to kill herself, forcing Gu Shaotang and Gong Sunlei to allow Lin Weixian a way out. The old housekeeper, Yue Le, took Lin Weixian back to his hometown in a small town in Jiangnan. Feeling hopeless, Lin Weixian was forced to apprentice at the famous "Hongji" rice shop in town. After experiencing the coldness of the world, Lin Weixian finally became indifferent. At this time, Hu Yi, now an officer, passed by with his troops. Seizing the opportunity to raise funds for Hu Yi, Lin Weixian successfully acquired the "Hongji" rice shop, embarking on the path to restore the Lin family business. Hu Yi, involved in the anti-communist purge, was ambushed, suffering severe injuries to his leg. Ten years later, Lin Weixian returned to Shanghai with amassed economic strength. By then, Gu Shaotang had become the unofficial king of Shanghai's business world and the "Green Gang," Gong Sunlei had become Gu Shaotang's capable assistant, and Hu Yi had returned to Shanghai under orders from Chongqing, engaging in a well-known espionage war with the Wang Jingwei puppet government's "76" organization. Qingyu had turned to Gu Shaotang but was secretly having an affair with Gong Sunlei. At this time, Gu Shaotang, taking advantage of the chaos of the "espionage war," secretly instructed Gong Sunlei to eliminate Hariton to monopolize the business world. At this point, Lin Weixian was trying to get closer to Gong Sunlei's sister, the popular star Gong Sun Lingwan. Gong Sunlei discovered that Lin Weixian had returned to Shanghai and encouraged his naive sister Lingwan to continue dating Lin Weixian. Yue Le's daughter, Qianyun, saw Lin Weixian and Lingwan together and was heartbroken. Hu Yi, evading Gong Sunlei's pursuit, unexpectedly reunited with Qianyun, where his long-held love for her reignited, warming Qianyun's heart. Gu Shaotang relied on his trusted aide Hei San to find out that his betrayer was Gong Sunlei, prompting Gu Jiahui to call off the engagement with Gong Sunlei. However, knowing there were greater enemies, Gu Shaotang was forced to ally with Gong Sunlei to deal with Lin Weixian, who came seeking revenge. Gong Sunlei eventually captured Hu Yi, but for the sake of his personal ambition, he quietly let him go. Gong Sunlei and Lin Weixian finally reunited. Both openly declared their willingness to join forces, one in light and the other in shadow, to completely defeat Gu Shaotang in the business arena. Eventually, Gu Shaotang was forced to commit suicide. Qingyu, rejected by Gong Sunlei and consumed by hate, reported him to the Japanese. Gong Sunlei silenced her and forced Gu Jiahui to marry him as planned. Shortly after, Gong Sunlei focused his efforts on dealing with Lin Weixian. Lin Weixian continued to expand his industries to uphold the banner of "national commerce." A thrilling business war unfolded between Gong Sunlei and Lin Weixian. In the end, Gong Sunlei used various forces to corner Lin Weixian, turning his industrial dreams into ashes. Gong Sunlei was able to monopolize the Bund, and with great ambition, he married Gu Jiahui. On their wedding night, amidst a storm, Gu Jiahui finally took an axe to Gong Sunlei and then dashed into the pouring rain. Once again at the Sixteen Piers, a wealthy young man who resembled Lin Weixian disembarked, unexpectedly saving a poor young man who looked like Gong Sunlei, sparking a new round of life stories on the Bund... By the Suzhou River, as the sun was setting. Hu Yi and Qianyun left on a small wooden boat, wanting to hold hands and travel the world. They nostalgically scattered the folk song sheets compiled by Lin Weixian into the river. The sheets drifted away with the water, and the soft melody of "Jasmine Flower" echoed once more. As the song played, the little boat floated farther and farther away...
