Introduction of Red Rose and White Rose: Zhen Bao, who came back from studying abroad, got a higher position in a foreign company. For the convenience of transportation, he rented the house of his old classmate Wang Shihong. When Zhen was in school, she had a first love named Rose. He once won the reputation of "Liu Xiahui" for refusing the courtship of Rose.
Wang Shihong has a charming wife, who always makes Treasure dream. On one occasion, Hong Shi went to Singapore to do business. After several struggles between spirit and flesh, Zhenbao was "imprisoned" by this wife named Jiao Rui on a rainy day. To Treasure's surprise, Jiao Rui gave her true love this time.
When she offered to tell Wang Shihong the truth, Treasure fell ill. In the ward, Zhen Bao told Jiao Rui the real side-he didn't want to take too much responsibility for this situation. Jiao Rui wiped away her tumultuous tears, strangely calmed down and walked out of his life. With the help of her mother, Zhen Bao married a thin and quiet Meng with a sad sense of sacrifice.
The bride gives the impression that she is just an ordinary white person, and can't arouse the sexual desire of Treasure. Zhenbao began to go whoring outside. One day, however, he found a dull white rose smoker in his shadow and had a relationship with an ugly seamstress. Since then, Zhenbao has been playing with women openly outside, and he has been wandering around.
One day, he happened to meet Jiao Rui, the "red rose" in his life, on the bus. She is already a flashy middle-aged person. Years are relentless, flowers bloom and fall, and in tears, the red roses and white roses in Zhen Bao have become a mirage in reality. The old kindness is approaching the treasure bit by bit.
