When she was 8, Huang xiaofeng’s mother, Ziling died after becoming pregnant. Ziling’s lover shunned all responsibility, causing her to commit suicide by setting fire to herself. Young Xiaofeng watched helplessly as her mother died. 15 years later, her father, successful businessman Huang Yuan, is at a loss. He has a mountain of debt, and his business associate, Hu Wensui, has stabbed him in the back.
Xiaofeng has always been childhood friends with Wensui’s only son, Weide. They lost contact after Weide moved to Australia. Huang Yuan makes use of their relationship and pleads with Wensui, who was kept in the dark. Wensui flies into a rage and forbids Weide to marry Xiaofeng, even suing Huang Yuan. It is too much for Huang Yuan. He sets fire to Wensui’s factory but accidentally dies in the flames. Xiaofeng suddenly becomes an orphan. She blames everything on Wensui and wants her revenge.
Weide, seeing how despondent she is, comforts her and marries her secretly. Wensui has no choice but to accept her. Weide’s younger sister, Wenya, is extremely cold to Xiaofeng and deliberately tries to cause misunderstandings between Xiaofeng and Wensui and Weide. Xiaofeng confronts Wenya, only for the two of them to get into a scuffle. Xiaofeng is pushed down a flight of stairs and it is revealed: she was pregnant and had a miscarriage. Wensui admits to Xiaofeng that he was Ziling’s lover. This only spurs Xiaofeng to take her revenge.
Wenya gets into trouble for taking drugs under peer pressure. Xiaofeng passes by and instead of helping Wenya, betrays her. Wenya is dragged to the police station and incarcerated. Wensui suspects Xiaofeng has something to do with it but cannot say anything.
Soon, Wensui’s company loses a huge amount of money. It is in fact all Xiaofeng’s doing. Wensui contracts depression and stays at home all day, refusing to go to work. One day, there is a blackout and candles are lit. When Weide leaves the house after arguing with his father, he accidentally knocks over a candle, which sets fire to a curtain. The fire rapidly spreads and burns Wensui to death. The only unharmed object is a portrait of a phoenix…
Soon Wensui’s company goes downhill due to Weide’s poor management. Weide’s mother, Baozuan, chases Xiaofeng out of the house after an argument. Baozuan dips into her own personal funds and helps Weide tide over the crisis. Baozuan forces Xiaofeng to sign a divorce paper so that Weide can retain all his money. Xiaofeng refuses to sign it and infuriates Baozuan so much that she has a stroke. She is rushed to hospital and becomes paralyzed. She later dies of a heart attack when she receives news that Xiaofeng and Weide have divorced.
Xiaofeng begins to buy shares at rock-bottom prices and Weide, due to his feelings for Xiaofeng, can only shrug his shoulders helplessly as his company falls apart. Weide declares bankruptcy and Xioafeng’s job is complete.
5 years down the road and Weide has become a pathetic beggar, stuffing his mouth with the rubbish in the streets. In his simple mind, the owner of Golden Pheonix restaurant gives him free food everyday. He slowly regains his memory and the mystery Samaritan encourages him to get a job. He makes out a career for himself as a small businessman. He resumes his search for Xiaofeng and is astounded to discover his savior is in fact Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng is now a widow with a five-year old son. Her husband, a chef, died in a restaurant accident when he tried to stop the owner committing arson to claim insurance as business was bad. Xiaofeng takes over and whips up one delicious dish after another. Xiaofeng feigns indifference and pretends not to know Weide. Weide suspects Xiaofeng’s son, Xiaoqiang, is in fact his son but Xiaofeng denies it.
