In the 70s, Chen Damang, a young farmer, unexpectedly received a mysterious embroidered cigarette pouch, which contained a girl's deep love for him. But the girl who gave him a cigarette pouch never showed up, and in the days he was waiting, he had a wonderful story of grievances and hatred with two young and beautiful women in the village. He and Li Cuihua, a female intellectual, fell in love and got married. On his wedding night, he realized that it was not this woman who gave him the embroidered cigarette pouch. It wasn't until more than ten years later, when he was lying on the hospital bed, that the woman who quietly gave him the embroidered cigarette pouch told the shocking secret she buried in her heart. Chen Damang hated it when he learned the truth, but it was too late. His marriage to the female intellectual, Cuihua, broke down, and Cuihua took her son back to the city. The woman who gave him an embroidered cigarette pouch was also married to an ugly man, and when Chunhua's son grew up, he knew that his real father was Chen Damang, so he gave up the university entrance examination and went to the city to work to earn money to treat his father's illness. Unexpectedly, he fell in love with a girl in the city, but because of the secret of this girl, there were wonderful stories of joys and sorrows between the two young people.
