Masterfully skilled in the exquisite art of Peranakan cuisine and sewing, Yue Niang's (Jeanette Aw) life is a rich blend of tradition and hardship. Born into a family that views her as lesser, due to her lineage from a low-ranking second wife, and further stained by her mother's taboo love affair with a Japanese photographer, her life is far from simple. Yue Niang's captivating beauty and compassionate heart draw a multitude of admirers, yet also kindle the green flame of jealousy in her cousin's heart. Among her admirers is a wealthy gentleman, freshly returned from abroad. Yet her heart is already pledged to another - Chen Xi (Qi Yu Wu), a man of wealth hiding behind the humble facade of a 'penniless' driver. Her innocence and kindness stir a deep love within him. Yet, societal pressures force him to wed her envious cousin, leaving Yue Niang's heart in tatters. Life takes a dangerous turn for Yue Niang when she is sold to a local gangster. Yet, her fearless spirit impresses him, earning her a place as his sworn sister. Embarking on a tumultuous journey to carve her own destiny, Yue Niang's resilience shines through numerous adversities, leading her to success.
