Vivian, a talented pianist, had just given birth to her son Daniel on a ferry. She was brutally assaulted by her best friend Vivienne: she was disfigured, hit her head so hard that she lost her sight and her voice, and was pushed into the sea. Vivienne stole the baby and half of the love pendant, pretended to be a lifesaver, defrauded Vivian's husband Richard, and replaced her as the wife of the director of the Chinese Business Association. Vivian, who survived the disaster, picked up the abandoned baby Anna on the beach and adopted her. Twenty-two years later, she returned to San Francisco with her adopted daughter, determined to find her lost biological son. But at this time, Daniel had been raised by Vivienne and became the vice-president of the Hongzhong Gang. He believed deeply in his adoptive mother Vivienne and regarded his biological mother and Anna who had returned as dangerous spies. He imprisoned and persecuted them many times, and even raised a butcher knife to get rid of them. Vivian holds the other half of the jade pendant in her hand and uses her unique secret music, body scars and other clues to prove herself. At the seaside celebration, many witnesses and dusty files surfaced one after another, and the truth was revealed layer by layer. Daniel painfully learned that the woman he wanted to get rid of was the biological mother he had been searching for for twenty-two years. After the lie collapsed, Vivienne's numerous crimes were made public and faced legal trial. Daniel takes responsibility for the mistakes he committed; his adopted daughter Anna also finds her long-lost biological father Mr. Hu. After experiencing family torn apart, betrayal and revenge, everyone faces the pain of the past and welcomes belated justice and redemption on the devastated ruins of fate.
