Deeply rooted in the time-honored traditions of China, the stern Mandarin Wu, shaped by his grandfather's teachings, leads a life of strict discipline. Yet, beneath his authoritarian guise, he is a devoted father to his enchanting daughter, Nang Ping. Betrothed to a stranger of her father's choosing, Nang Ping's life seems destined for predictability, until she crosses paths with the charismatic British visitor, Basil Gregory. As their paths entwine, a forbidden love blossoms, pulling Nang Ping away from the life set for her. When Basil reveals his impending departure back to Britain, Nang Ping surprises him with a revelation of her own - she carries his child.

When Wu discovers his daughter's dishonor, he is torn between his paternal love and the relentless pull of China's ancient laws.
