On the way, a group of people were ambushed, and the eldest son-in-law became the victim of this dispute and feud. Before he died, he confided to his wife Yu Jing that he had an illegitimate child named Zhu Zigui, whose whereabouts are still unknown. He hopes that his wife can find her son and bring him up. Yu Jingying promised her husband's last wish and entrusted Shen Xinchi to look around.
Zhu Zigui's current name is Zhang Laifu. He and his adoptive father's son, Zhang Changgui, grew up in the countryside, and they have deep feelings. Frye takes care of his brother. Zhang Changgui accidentally killed someone for stealing rice, so Zhang Laifu was punished and spent five years in prison. During this period, Zhang Changgui fell in love with Zhang Laifu's girlfriend Qingqing, who worked as a maid in a rich family. After he got out of prison, Zhang Laifu learned the truth. He remembered the kindness of his brothers and sisters and even went to Shanghai as a bonded laborer to raise money for Qingqing's redemption.
Zhang Laifu, who drifted to Shanghai alone, was honest and keen. Yu Chuang hired hooligans to make trouble, bent on driving Shenyang father and daughter out of Shanghai. When Zhang Laifu saw the rough road, he saved the Shenyang father and daughter, and he himself was seriously injured. The foreman Su Sanqiang made things difficult for Zhang Laifu because of his injury and absenteeism, and imprisoned and tortured him.

Shen Xinchi went to his hometown in Zhang Laifu, not far from Wan Li, to find a son for Zhujiajian. Zhang's parents love money like life. After learning this "good news", he asked his son Zhang Changgui to change his name to Zhu Zigui and become "Master Zhu". He knew his true identity from his mother's attitude, but in order to repay the kindness of the Zhang family, he decided to let his brother be "Master Zhu". Although Shen Xinchi vaguely saw the mystery, he still didn't say it, because the "Zhu Guzhu" who didn't say it honestly was not necessarily a good job. Contrary to expectations, the kindness of my brother and the greed of my parents pushed this simple Zhang Changgui to a point of no return!
Zhang Changgui came to Shanghai from the countryside as a rich boy, thinking that he could enjoy all the splendor from now on. Who knows that Yu Jing hates this illegitimate child and makes things difficult for him, which makes him miserable. However, Zhang Changgui looked at the splendor in front of him, and he chose to submit to humiliation. After a long time in Shanghai, his simple nature gradually disappeared and he soon entered the role of Master Zhu. He doesn't like rustic "adoptive parents" more and more, and he doesn't like green village girls, and he feels the same way about Lei Xiaodong, a rich daughter.

Zhang Changgui fell in love with Lei Xiaodong and completely abandoned Qingqing. In order to win the family property early and win the trust of the Yu family. Zhang Changgui turned to Shen Xinchi for help and arranged risks. Finally, he defrauded Yu's silent trust and gradually mastered the power of the Zhujiajian family.
However, Qingqing gave everything to Zhang Changgui and even got such a result. In extreme grief, Qingqing wanted to throw himself into the river. Luckily, Zhang Laifu came to save it. Zhang Laifu can't bear to see his brother treat Qingqing like this. He wants to pull Zhang Changgui out of the role of "Zhu Guzhu". Zhang's father was angry that his son was selfish and forgetful, and found a genealogy to expose Zhang Changgui's false identity.
Yu Jingying also became suspicious of Zhang Changgui. With the help of her father and friends, she met Zhang Laifu and learned the ins and outs of the matter. Zhang Changgui saw that he was almost finished, but the fake Zhu Zigui was gradually exposed. For the sake of immediate prosperity, he sent someone to kill his parents and regain his family tree; Killed in silence, framed. Zhang Changgui colluded with lawyers to design a frame-up, and Yu Chuang took the opportunity to get rid of his rival in love. Zhang Laifu was sentenced to death and put in Shazhou prison. Thanks to the help of the warden, Zhang Laifu escaped the disaster and fled overseas.
Su Sanqiang and Shen Zijun tried to shoot Zhang Changgui for revenge, but they failed and almost died. With the help of Zhang Changgui, Shen Xinchi was promoted to Chief Inspector as he wished and tried his best to serve Zhang Changgui. At this point, Zhang Changgui monopolized the family power and huge wealth and married Lei Xiaodong. Satisfied all my desires and reached the peak of my life.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears and seek revenge, Su Sanqiang decadently goes in and out of the tobacco house every day. When Zhang Changgui saw that Su Sanqiang was addicted to cigarettes, he relaxed his vigilance like a walking corpse. Qingqing can't bear to see Su Sanjiang survive like this. She took good care of him, and they had a good impression on each other for a long time.
Zhang Laifu returned to Shanghai under the pseudonym of Cheng Wanli. I am bent on revenge. First, I killed someone with a knife and got revenge for killing my father. Later, he used the subtotal to provoke Zhang Changgui and Chai to retaliate against the original frame-up. Reunited with the three strong brothers of the Soviet Union, Qi Xin joined forces to get rid of Zhang Changgui in order to revive his glory.
When Yu Chuang was defeated by Zhang Changgui, he lost his former style, but his true feelings touched Shen Zijun. The news that Zhang Laifu was still alive made Shen Zijun pleasantly surprised. However, Zhang Laifu has been reluctant to admit his revenge. In order to stimulate Zhang Laifu, Shen Zijun married Yu Chuangshi. But Zhang Laifu remained unmoved. Shen Zijun wandered between Genesis and Zhang Laifu.
Zhang Changgui's men were even killed. He knew that Zhang Laifu must have done it, so he was nervous and cautious everywhere. Zhang Laifu was defeated by Zhang Changgui in the process of being the chairman of the Public Bureau of Franchise of Competition Law. Su Sanqiang's affectionate style. He gave up the chance to live in peace with Qingqing and was determined to help Zhang Laifu get revenge, but he was killed by a mob hired by Zhang Changgui. Qingqing is pregnant with the children of the top three, and the sudden blow makes Qingqing feel pain again. However, despair and pain did not make Qingqing choose suicide as before. She and Zhang Chang Gui You love each other and hate each other, all of which aroused the flame of revenge in her heart. Qingqing is going to throw herself at Zhang Changgui to cheat his trust and avenge Su Sanqiang and others.
Qing Qing and Zhang Changgui made up and told them that they were pregnant. Zhang Changgui was overjoyed. Lei Xiaodong couldn't stand it anymore and made a scene, but Zhang Changgui's intention to divorce her was decided. Lei Xiaodong took Zhang Changgui to court in a rage. She told everything she knew, and Zhang Changgui was charged with ten counts by the court.
Zhang Laifu's crazy revenge cost him friends, brothers and relatives. He pointed all this anger and resentment at Zhang Changgui. Faced with the economic collapse and the accusation of the court, Zhang Changgui chose to flee with Qingqing's mother and son. Zhang Laifu stopped Zhang Changgui at the dock, and Qing Qing also told Zhang Changgui that his son was the flesh and blood of the top three Soviet Union. Zhang Laifu and Zhang Changgui were fighting. Zhang Changgui was hit in the head and fainted. In the hospital, watching Zhang Changgui who has gone crazy, Zhang Laifu learned from Qingqing that Yu Chuangshi deliberately concealed key evidence in order to get Shen Zijun in the murder case. For grandpa and Michelle, Zhang Laifu finally let Yu Chuangshi live. Shen Zijun couldn't stand the shameless act of framing Zhang Laifu against his will in Creation, and left sadly. Zhang Changgui, who slowly recovered his memory in the hospital, finally ended his life under the condemnation of his conscience.
Qing Qing took her children to visit the grave of Su Sanqiang and decided to leave Shanghai to raise the children alone in Su Sanqiang's hometown. Although God is fair, he is also ruthless. Although he got revenge, he was alone in the end. This is brotherhood. In the end, brothers turned against each other, the world was cold, fame and fortune were loved, but they also passed away and came back.
