Yu Zhenhai (Adam Cheng), a well-known gambling king in Northeast China, has traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai in order to recapture the scene painstakingly managed by his mentor, throwing an gauntlet at Shanghai tycoon Feng Jingyao (Pan Zhiwen), vowing to avenge his mentor. In an instant, the mysterious and tense air filled the casinos in Shanghai. At this time, Xu Wenqiang (Chen Jinhong), a warm-blooded young man, came to Shanghai from Beijing with the disillusioned ideal of saving the country and the people, in an attempt to seek personal fame and fortune in this colorful world. With the help of Fang Yanyun (Guo Shaoyun), Li Ding (Lin Jiadong) and Gui Xiang (Lv Fang), a well-known socialite in Shanghai, he gradually emerged in the underworld in Shanghai, and formed an indissoluble bond with Zhenhai, who knows each other, and cooperated in the theater business. On the other hand, with the secret help of Wen Qiang, Zhenhai finally won the Jing Yao Casino. Zhenhai, who was indifferent to the rest of his life, decided to stay in Shanghai for development and visit Iraqis because his son Luo Tianyou (Li Jiasheng) failed to take over the casino affairs smoothly, and on the other hand, he learned that his long-lost lover Gu Qinghua (Maggie Cheung) was also in Shanghai. During this period, God bless accidentally killed Su (), the leader of the pier gang, and Su (), who avenged his brother, went to Zhenhai. Under the complicated entanglement of gratitude and resentment, Qiao Qi became attached to Zhenhai, while Zhenhai became attached to Tsinghua. It's fate rather than providence. By chance, Zhenhai finally reunited with Tsinghua, but Tsinghua was already Jing Yao's lover, and Tsinghua didn't understand why his father blocked Zhenhai in many ways and misunderstood Zhenhai's intention to disappoint their elopement. So, when he met Zhenhai again, Tsinghua only had hatred in his eyes, but could not find a trace of love.

At the critical moment, he was rescued by Qiao Qi and fled to Hongkong. It was not until after the revenge of Qing Hai that I suddenly realized that I still loved Zhenhai the most, but now I have no face to see Zhenhai again. Zhenhai, who fled to Hong Kong, didn't want to fight, but Jing Yao's traitorous behavior aroused Zhenhai's patriotism and national protection, and he was determined to return to the concession and compete with Jing Yao. Wen Qiang, who devoted himself to Jing Yao, and Feng Chengcheng (Chen Songling) and two of a kind, the only daughters of Jing Yao, were not ashamed of Jing Yao's traitorous behavior of engaging in Japanese business, betraying national justice and killing patriotic students and workers, so they turned against each other and were hunted down and disappeared in Shanghai. At this moment, Li Ding, who had a crush on her love for a long time, took the opportunity to stay with her. After Wen Qiang fled to Hong Kong, he was determined to abandon all his previous pursuits of fame and fortune. At the same time, he happened to meet Jiang Zijun (Liang Xiaobing), a woman who helped Wen Qiang in many ways in the past. They share weal and woe, and Wen Qiang has a deep affection for Zijun, so he married Zijun and lived a quiet life. Knowing that Wen Qiang is in Hong Kong, Cheng Cheng is determined to leave Shanghai, an eventful place, and go to Hong Kong to find Wen Qiang to renew friendship. Unexpectedly, the other party was married, so he had to return to Shanghai in a gloomy mood and accept Li Ding's kindness. At the same time, although Jing Yao sent someone to hunt down Yi Wenqiang, he survived, but Zijun and the fetus in his belly died innocently and tragically. This tragic murder rekindled the flame of Wen Qiang's revenge, vowing to kill Jing Yao and sacrifice his wife and children to heaven …
