Jing Hang is the Du family’s second child and also the youngest child. Accordingly, with the Du family’s wealth and their prestige in the local area, the Du family’s youngest child should naturally be like his elder brother, Jing Xiang, possessing the love and affection of the entire family. Yet, perhaps Jing Hang has been spoiled too much since he is a child and he causes trouble all the time outside. Compared with his outstanding elder brother, Jing Xiang, one can say that they are as different as night and day. Actually, Jing Hang is really not that bad. However, to his strict father, Jing Hang is devoting his interests to the wrong things. Jing Hang doesn’t do things according to the rules; simply, “doesn’t have any of the aspects that Du family members have”, completely “embarrasses the Du family’s name.” Therefore, if his elder brother is the treasure that his father shows off to all the relatives and friends, then Jing Hang is the troublesome one that his father would always have to clean up messes after. His elder brother’s exceptional performance completely corresponds to their father’s anticipation, yet Jing Hang always does the opposite things. He is always doing things that he wants to do, and usually it is things that his father labels as “unnecessary” matters. Regardless if “the adults” praise or scold at the two brothers, Jing Xiang and Jing Hang, still has Ke Ting, the daughter of the Guo family, their father’s good friend. The three of them have been childhood friends, growing up together and have a profound relationship. In order to change their father’s impression of Jing Hang, Jing Xiang has secretly encouraged Jing Hang to get a lawyer’s degree so as to prove his ability to their father. It turns out that Jing Hang really was able to accomplish that --- he was able to easily get a lawyer’s license! The only thing is that their father’s unexpected happiness didn’t last for long… Even though Jing Hang’s first lawsuit was a brilliant win, but because he couldn’t get use to seeing the opposing party’s impenetrably thickheadedness and unregretful attitude, thus he beat up the other person! This incident was immediately recorded by the reporters that were outside and was splashed across the newspapers. Father Du was extremely angry. The Du and Guo family’s relationship is very deep plus the fact that Jing Xiang and Ke Ting is on the verge of entering into the marriage stage with both of the fathers’ agreement, everything is developing according to plan. Who would have thought that, in front of everyone, Ke Ting refuses the marriage that Father Du and Father Guo agreed upon! The wedding news blows away, but the reason behind it is not as innocent as it seems. The real reason behind it is due to Ke Ting’s decision. It turns out that between Jing Xiang and Jing Hang, the one that she likes is not the elders’ idea of “the typical man” but unexpectedly, it is the “younger brother that no one approves of”. The two brothers get into a conflict when both want to retreat. Elder brother, Jing Xiang, insists on giving up the space to love Ke Ting to younger brother, Jing Hang. In the end, he chooses to leave the family and wants to quietly recover from the sadness and pain of losing Ke Ting. However, Jing Hang couldn’t forgive himself. It seems as if his existence causes those that love him and hate him much pain and suffering. Taking his father’s disappointment and grieve, Jing Hang also leaves home! His beloved elder brother returns, yet accidentally passes away; at that time, Jing Hang who is desperately trying to evade the truth also returns home. Having always had a bad relationship with his father and as a descendant of the Du family, should Jing Hang shoulder the family’s responsibility? Should he inherit the Du family’s business that was supposed to have been inherited by his elder brother? Jing Hang, who returns home, is faced with something else that is unexpected: another “troublemaker”: who comes back with his elder brother, gets into an accident together but miraculously lives, Xiao Jun, his “sister-in-law” and the “Du family’s grandson” that is nestled within her abdomen… Xiao Jun’s appearance is like a bomb to the Du family and to Jing Hang. Especially Jing Hang, who is unable to accept that his elder brother fell in love with a girl like Xiao Jun, with a “bad temper and a gruff personality.” He is also unable to believe that he would unexpectedly fall in love with his “sister-in-law” that would often argue with him and gets on his nerves! It turns out that underneath Jing Hang’s careless and reckless appearance is the deep love that Jing Hang has for his father and for the Du family. After getting acquainted with Xiao Jun, that’s when Jing Hang finds his true self.

She is the only daughter in the family but is not what one would call “the apple of her parents’ eyes.” Because the father that she talks about is not her real father, but her “stepfather.” Xiao Jun’s real father passed away when she was only a baby. Her mother remarried when she is 13 years old yet she passed away even before Xiao Jun turns 14 years old. Losing her mother, Xiao Jun is left with her alcoholic stepfather’s abuse. Her life becomes quite gloomy, to the point where she can no longer endure it any longer… To Xiao Jun, this home is not a place that provides warmth but it fosters her rough and stubborn personality. She even has a resistance toward power. This is probably the way that Xiao Jun protects herself. With regards to other people’s judgment, whether it is sympathy or dislike, Xiao Jun would still use the “This is the way that I am” frank attitude to cover up the corner of her heart which has already been hurt. Because she hates being misunderstood by people, hates being looked upon likely by others, so living in the environment that she is in right now, she always feels that there is a certain pressure that is not allowing her to get away. Hence, Xiao Jun has this naturally born sense of justice and is used to using a smiling face to confront all the helplessness and use a smile to give herself even more strength. Fortunately, Xiao Jun has a group of good colleagues beside her. Even though the economic conditions of this group of friends are not too good, but under Xiao Jun’s enthusiastic encouragements, they have become a group that is filled with companionate friendship. Even so, they will do everything they can to grant Xiao Jun’s wish of traveling to Rhine River. Xiao Jun has always remembered the fairy tale myth, “Rhine’s Ring”, that her mother has told her when she was a child. “Rhine’s Ring” is: “The gold that is protected by the fairy on the bank of The Rhine River is made into a ring. Later a boy gives this ring to the girl that he loves. The boy is framed by his enemy and drinks the forgetful water that makes him forget everything. When he finally does get his memory back and remembers who the girl is, his enemy’s lance just happens to jab into his back. The boy dies; the girl puts on the ring, riding the horse and rushes into the raging fire. Because they have once made a promise to the Rhine River, they have to love each other generation after generation and never separate.” This deep love towards musician, Richard Wagner’s, music and this myth is a happy memory that comes from Xiao Jun’s childhood. When she was young, her mother used to play Wagner’s music for Xiao Jun to hear. Wagner’s music is the link that connects Xiao Jun to her longing for her mother and it is also the driving force that is behind the strength for her to forget everything and find herself when she is in a bad environment. Just like she is fond of smiling, she always hopes that in unbearable situations in life, she still has this “happy”, “sweet”, private space that belongs to her. And love is a dream that Xiao Jun looks forward to. It’s just that the first guy Xiao Jun falls in love with, Jie Sheng, besides from leaving her with a surprise that came too early, she also finds out that she is pregnant! Before she is even able to comprehend her feelings, whether she is happier or more surprised, Xiao Jun discovers that the Jie Sheng she has given her true feelings too is actually a rotten guy that likes to play around. Xiao Jun, who has received such a big emotional blow and also pregnant with a child, towards her future, she only feels that it is very bleak. However, she still doesn’t want to admit defeat to the world. She really doesn’t want to be defeated! Surprises always come one right after the other. Just when she finds out that Jie Sheng really doesn’t love her, Xiao Jun meets a happy couple on the train, Jing Xiang and Yu Qing. Xiao Jun and Yu Qing, who are both orphans, very quickly strikes up a deep conversation. Seeing the happy Yu Qing, Xiao Jun is extremely envious. Just when Yu Qing naturally says that she will let Xiao Jun try on the ring that Yu Qing is wearing, Xiao Jun starts to fantasize – wouldn’t it be great if she can also possess this kind of happiness! Suddenly there is an explosive bang! Everything turns black! When Xiao Jun opens her eyes again, Xiao Jun’s identity has already turned into the Du family’s eldest son’s fiancé – Yu Qing! Xiao Jun can’t refrain herself from this “stolen happiness” and feels extremely ashamed and confused…

Nearly all the good words and phrases could be used to describe this girl that grew up with Jing Xiang and Jing Hang. Her beautiful face, a gentle and kind heart and her elegant upbringing helps to increase her good qualities. But perhaps it is because of this that everyone would believe Ke Ting is fragile and needs to be protected. On the surface that could be seen as the case, but in reality Ke Ting has a persistent and diligent goal and that goal is her love! Facing the world of love, Ke Ting chooses the one that her parents and everyone else disapproves of, Jing Hang. Even though she knows that if she chooses Jing Xiang, it would be like choosing the “happiness” that the world believes in; yet, Ke Ting still follows the desire of her heart. She falls in love with the unruly Jing Hang. Before she is even sure of how his feelings are for her, she has already expressed her own feelings. There should be no regret once she has fallen in love. Ke Ting’s work is that of a professional doctor. It is because of this that she has logically become the Du family’s family doctor. Owing to concern and care she and the pregnant Xiao Jun gradually become good friends. To Xiao Jun, Ke Ting’s beauty, goodness and upbringing are the incarnation of perfection. The sad part is, even with all the good things that falls onto Ke Ting, it is still inevitable that she is stuck in between her father and the one that she loves. However, Ke Ting has scarcely hesitated at all in supporting Jing Hang. Yet this feeling of friendship has still not been able to evolve into love in Jing Hang’s heart. As for Ke Ting, she has already been burned by the love that she has poured her whole life into…

He gets the lawyer’s license at the same time as Jing Hang. His first lawsuit was lost to Jing Hang! When they both meet again, it is over Father Guo and Nui Nui’s father, Wang Jin Fu’s lawsuit. Jing Hang is defending for Nui Nui’s father and Zhe Kai is defending for the Guo family! Zhe Kai is the type that when he is young, he is filled with lots of ideals and thoughts. In actuality, he is greedy, vane and sly! His hard work is filled with chiseled marks. He wholeheartedly wants to get back his deserved payment for all his hard work and diligent studies! Therefore, he wins the lawsuit for Father Guo and nearly becomes an over praised person. This is the great opportunity that Zhe Kai needs to make himself shine in front of everyone. The irony of it is, starting from this case; Zhe Kai goes down the road of subjecting to the influence of money and power. In the end, he becomes the Guo family’s personal lawyer! If possible, Zhe Kai not only wants to be an excellent and prosperous lawyer, but he also hopes to be able to catch a wealthy woman and enjoy all the riches that he can! And, in his eyes, Ke Ting is the most perfect and suitable partner!

Jing Hang’s best partner! Has a lively and good-hearted personality. Is someone who gladly helps anyone in need. Even though he is not quite clear on why Jing Hang suddenly appear out of nowhere but Ma Ke, who has always believed in the good side of people, immediately admires Jing Hang’s high degree of talent regarding the performance of cars. He also becomes good friends and buddies with Jing Hang immediately. Jing Hang, who is quite familiar with the functions and performances of different cars, would occasionally give Ma Ke a hand when business gets too busy and help out with fixing cars. “A kid who loves cars won’t turn bad!” Did someone say this before? Yes! It’s Ma Ke. In any case, Ma Ke wants to make friends, so what he has are also sorts of out of this world excuses! The matter with Niu Niu’s father, through Jing Hang, Ma Ke knows a bit of what’s going on. Therefore, towards Jing Hang’s care of Niu Niu, Ma Ke has no objections whatsoever. Ma Ke is the friend that Jing Hang trusts the most!

Father Du would always have this solemn and cold look in his eyes. A look that would cause a feeling of fear in the hearts of the people who look at him. To him, the word “love” seems as if it cannot stand independently. It must co-exist with some other factors. Therefore, when Jing Xiang follows all the rules, when Jing Xiang studies hard and works outstandingly, then without a doubt, Du Bai Cheng would be pleased with Jing Xiang. Moreover, it can be clearly seen that he shows fatherly love towards Jing Xiang. However, towards Jing Hang? His fatherly love is constrained. After all, according to his definition, nothing good comes out of all of Jing Hang’s actions and behaviors. There is no way he can’t be strict with Jing Hang because he can’t sit by and watch as his second son waste away his own life with this unruly attitude of his! Because Du Bai Cheng understands much too clearly that this unruly attitude and wasting of life is the bearer of destructive forces!! Nearly nobody knows that Du Bai Cheng was once the victim of this himself! Moreover, he has to live with this regret for the rest of his life. This gorgeous and splendid Manor is the prison of his soul! In those days, he was once deep into gambling which caused disappointment in his most beloved wife and lead to her death. Even though in the end, he wins a great round in the business world but his wife longer has the fortune to enjoy the happiness of this success. It is because of this that Du Bai Cheng changed this Manor to commemorate his wife. At the same time, starting from then on, he imprisoned that part of him that is romantic and easy-going. He deliberately tries to forget about his past. The Du Bai Cheng that would do everything in his power to buy the Manor for his wife all because of a classical legend. After his wife’s death, he gives the ring to Jing Xiang. Love and his true feelings are locked away outside of his heart. Therefore, when he sees Jing Hang being the same way he is in the past, on the surface, everyone thinks that he doesn’t love Jing Hang? Actually the answer is the complete opposite. The reason why he is resistant against and loathes Jing Hang is because with Jing Hang’s existence, it clearly points out to him that he used to be someone like that and Bai Cheng hates that part of the past. Therefore, when he is faced with Jing Hang, he builds the cold wall between father and son that much higher, that much thicker. That is, until the appearance of his daughter-in-law, Xiao Jun. Her logic that doesn’t follow by the rules reveals the simplest truth: “Why does one have to be unhappy in life?” Du Bai Cheng is startled – he gets pulled into a world by Xiao Jun that will not let one be unhappy. The short but genuine, happy times that he has had with his wife, gradually gets recalled into his memory bit by bit.

(portrayed by Qiu Zheng) - 45-50 years old. Du family’s housekeeper.

She has been the Du family’s housekeeper for 10 years already and her age is approximately 50 years old. In this peaceful and calm Manor, everyday is systematically planned out and the big reason behind that is all due to Rong Sao’s management! She is serious, strict, is scrupulous about every detail. All the housework in the Du family is carried out under Rong Sao’s standards. She does not like changes and believes that her way of doing things are the right way, so what’s wrong with that? Her stubbornness is able to gain Father Du’s trust, because a certain degree of Father Du’s love and compassion is locked away. Therefore, Rong Sao’s strict conduct in doing things is the perfect way to control the feelings that Father Du doesn’t want to loosen up. It’s not that Rong Sao doesn’t know that the servants in the Du family regard her as a terrifying witch! But, for this reason, she will not allow herself to be even a bit careless because a family that has no one to take care of is just waiting for disaster to happen!

Being polite and well-educated, he is the model of a perfect person. His performance in all various aspects is the anticipation of his father and everyone. He doesn’t show off his outstanding self and isn’t arrogant or egotistic. On the contrary, he is worried that because he receives all the attention of everyone that this would bring pressure on his younger brother, Jing Hang. He is a good elder brother. Until the unexpected happens and Ke Ting expresses her true feelings to Jing Hang. In Jing Xiang’s eyes, this incident could be seen as the first defeat in his life. Yet, Jing Xiang didn’t angry because of this, just like he has always had deep confidence in Jing Hang even when everyone else doesn’t while they were growing up. Therefore, Jing Xiang can only accept the fact that the Ke Ting that he admires and loves has the same appreciation for Jing Hang as he did! As a result, he calmly gives them his blessings. However, Jing Hang unexpectedly snorts at his blessing?! This makes Jing Xiang feel extremely bad because on the front of love, he can hold onto his demeanor to choose to withdraw from this triangular relationship. But he cannot tolerate Jing Hang’s indifference along with his disrespectful attitude. Perhaps it is because he has more experience in life and that’s why he is more objective than Jing Hang or maybe a bit more calm. This is the considerate excuse that Jing Xiang has for Jing Hang’s behavior.

Speaks before thinking and is full of righteousness. She’s a bit nosy but she isn’t a bad person at all. Is the first friend that Xiao Jun meets when she arrives at the Du family. It is also Ah Mei’s zealous attitude that makes Xiao Jun feel that perhaps this Du family is a place where she can live at. She is the number one servant within the Du family’s group of maids. She would often give her opinions to Xiao Jun and that’s a given! Because they have come by a young and gracious mistress that doesn’t care one bit about their servants’ status. So of course, Ah Mei would immediately become loyal to Xiao Jun and naturally, Ah Mei’s kitchen becomes a corner that Xiao Jun would often visit.

A lively, innocent and mischievous 8 year old girl. What used to be the most painful memory in her life, in a wish that seems to be like a dream, plants itself deeply in Niu Niu’s mind – “because her father loses a lawsuit, he left without saying a word to her.” From that day on, Niu Niu has not seen her father since. However, Niu Niu doesn’t have too many bad memories. She is still living happily and mischievously. Moreover, in her life, Jing Hang suddenly appears: “An elder brother who can help her fix her remote control cars.” She doesn’t know why he comes to take care of her, bringing along with him his girlfriend that she likes to play jokes on. Aside from thinking about this island that she hasn’t been able to swim to yet and thinking about her father, Niu Niu’s life is full of happiness - look! Her eyes are rolling around mischievously, probably thinking about how to play tricks on someone.
