Set in 1982 and spanning 25 years, it tells the story of a family embroiled in conflicts of interest, webs of deceit, love, hatred and vengeance.

Coincidentally, and perhaps intentionally, the first two characters of the Chinese title, "黄" and "金", are the surnames of the two main families in the series.

Ah She gave up on his murder attempts, but kidnapped Kaijie to force Xiao-gu to give up the key she received.

Xiao-gu reentered the house to save Chen-sao but Ah She was burnt to death after being pinned down by fallen pillars.

The rapist, who covers himself in motor oil, renders his victims defenceless and unable to resist, thus earning him the title "Oily Man".

Afterwards, Ah Lin was arrested by Lao Cai, a police officer who lives and patrols in the area, and sent to a mental facility.

In the meantime, Xiao-gu and Ah Jin began to grow closer together everyday, and decided to marry each other.

Meanwhile, Kaijie developed an affection for Jinfeng, but due to the source of tension between the two families, he dare not make his feelings public.

She paid off the bill before she left Happy Restaurant, and began a deep friendship with Xiao-gu, and fell in love with Jinlong at first sight.

Under much pressure to keep the unfortunate event secret due to her fledgling rise to become a television artiste, Jinfeng was taken onto a yacht owned by Lin Fei to unwind and relax.

During the yacht trip, Jinfeng discovered Kaijie's motive for dating Lin Fei: to gain access to her billion-dollar trust fund, which will be freed to her when she is married.

Horrified, Jinfeng vowed to tell Lin Fei the truth, but in the ensuing scuffle with Kaijie, she accidentally got thrown overboard.

No one on board the ship noticed until it was too late, and Jinfeng was in a Persistent Vegetative State when she was rescued by David and Kaiqi.

When Jinlong was released from prison, Xiao-gu treated him to a big meal, before attempting to tell him the truth about Jinfeng.

It turned out that Jinfeng was using a camcorder when she was thrown overboard, and Kaijie, after discovering the camera had a recording of the incident on its tape, hid it in a clothing drawer.

Jinlong was alienated from the Huang family because of their perception that he was responsible for Kaida's insanity, he descended into drugs, and entered the triads to get the necessary income for it.

6 months later, Jinlong found out that Kaijie had killed Bak Kut Girl in cold blood, and left her body to decompose in the woods.

Jinlong confronted Kaijie (who had quit from the police force and become a lawyer) in an old warehouse, where Kaida and Kaiqi were also present.

As for Kaijie, his criminal deeds were discovered by the police (through a handwritten note found on Bak Kut Girl's body linking him to her murder), thus forcing him to flee from the country.

Three years later, Xiao-gu, mindful of the predicaments her children have ended up in, decided to sell all her businesses, donate the proceeds to charity, and restart Happy Restaurant at another place.

While all family members began their new phase of life, Kaijie, still fleeing from the law, called his mother for the last time, moments before he was killed by an assassin (disguised as a bellboy) at a hotel.

Lin Fei was seen at the beach with a young boy, most probably the child she had with Kaijie, while she ended a phone call regarding a business transaction, hinting that she was the one who hired the assassin.
