唐氏集团总裁林可欣从小得到外公的悉心栽培，十二岁那年，第一次在重要的决策上，外公听了她的建议，奠定了唐氏的发展目标，大学毕业后，外公就让她接管公司的生意，引起舅舅唐伟业的激烈反对，和媳妇郑婉玉一直致力要把林可欣拉下总裁的宝座，因此当唐大中病重陷入昏迷，唐伟业与郑婉玉便伺机夺回唐氏。这时林可欣发现自己的精神状态出现问题，她经常难以控制的歇斯底里，林可欣自己也觉得惊心，是因为外公病危，是自己的精神真的出了状况，又或是因为孙家明最近和女职员范小宁宣布拍拖，令她失落了……，她心里忐忑不安，想起小时候外婆精神病患发作时的情景，她偷偷约定医生检验，这件事让郑婉玉发现了。孙家明是一家小食店的年轻老板，虽然看不惯林可欣不可一世的态度，可是又情不自禁的喜欢上她，林可欣从小目睹父亲对母亲和对他们三姐弟的无情，对感情不信任，她不想自己有被伤害的可能，尤其孙家明的身份跟自己太悬殊了，加上孙家明身边有太多的女性朋友了，公司女职员范小宁就对他痴缠不休，而孙家明似乎也心动了，林可欣心有戚戚，说不出的矛盾、迷惘、难以割舍……，她不知道孙家明与范小宁的交往，背后努力促成的是自己的弟弟林可喜。林可喜素来对姐姐林可欣的强悍与优越感作风很不认同，他故意撮合范小宁与孙家明，要让林可欣一尝失恋的痛苦，林可喜的热情奔放，和家里的成员十分格格不入，母亲唐丽莲因为一次失败婚姻，一蹶不振多年，从来没有余暇关心他们三姐弟，林可欣的不可一世与冷漠，叫人难以消受，妹妹林可怡封闭在她自己的世界里，一家人生活在一起，却是如同陌路，他尝试改变家里人的关系，每次都弄巧反拙，他想减少与舅舅一家人的矛盾关系，结果反而把关系弄得更僵。自唐大中昏迷后，唐伟业迫不及待的与媳妇郑婉玉连串大动作，准备等到唐大中一死，就把林可欣拉下台，不料唐大中奇迹般的醒了过来，两人不肯就此罢手，于是密谋伪造林可欣遗传外婆神经病基因的检验报告，局面顿时出现大逆转……林可欣以为自己真的遗传了外婆的精神病基因，震惊不已，母亲和外公比她更无法接受这样的事实，大家措手不及，一向高高在上，精明干练、主宰一切的她，变得无助、彷徨、沮丧、脆弱，她封闭了自己，悲观的等待自己“发疯”那一刻的到来。唐大中一直担心子女会遗传老婆的精神病，万万想不到，这样的不幸会降临到自己最器重的外孙女身上，他顿时乱了主张，一向依赖女儿的唐丽莲受的冲击比女儿更大，林可喜想帮姐姐，发现自己原来真的一无是处，有心无力，本来决定出国的林可怡，更觉得自己微不足道，回天乏力，唐伟业如愿于尝，夺下公司的主管大权，切断林可欣一家人的财政来源，林家陷入经济困境，面临崩溃的林可欣想一死了之，自杀未遂，陷入昏迷状态，林可怡与林可喜竭尽所能，终于唤醒林可欣，他们第一次深深感受到姐弟之间浓烈不可分割的亲情，但是清醒过来的林可欣仍然脆弱悲观。直到孙家明伸出援手，他看出这家人的问题症结所在，对症下药，让这家人凝聚起来。林可欣从开始的封闭、抗拒、逃避、到最后被家人的亲情感动，回首自己的过去，有许多的顿悟与感触，一家人在这段艰辛的日子里，互相扶持、付出、重新认识自己的感情，孙家明向林可欣求婚，对自己的未来毫无把握的林可欣拒绝了，孙家明最后如何以真情感动了林可欣呢？林可喜、林可怡如何找到自己生命的定位？唐氏出现危机，郑婉玉的诡计如何被拆穿？……Sinceyoung,LinKeXin,theCEOofTangGroup,hadbeengroomedintheropesofbusinessbyhermaternalgrandfatherTangDaZhong.Whenshewas12yearsold,hergrandfatheradoptedhersuggestionforamajorbusinessdecision,therebysettingthefuturedevelopmentalcourseoftheTangGroup.Afterhergraduation,hergrandfatherappointedhertosucceedhimastheCEOofTangGroup.ThedecisionsparkedoffvehementprotestsfromheruncleTangWeiYe,whowithhisdaughter-in-lawZhengWanYu,werebentonunderminingher.Hence,whenTangDaZhongbecamecomatose,theytookthechancetoseizecontrolofTangGroup.ItwasatthistimethatKeXinfoundthatsheoftensufferedattacksofuncontrollablehysteria.Grippedwithfearandshock,shewonderedwhatcouldhavecausedsuchmentalanomaly.Wasitbroughtaboutbyhergrandfather’scriticalcondition,orwastheresomethingwrongwithhermentalfaculties,orcoulditbethenewsthatSunJiaMingandherstaffFanXiaoNingbecameanitemthatsodepressedher?Feelingworried,sherecalledthetimeswhenhermaternalgrandmotherhadhermentalbreakdowns.Quietly,shewentformedicalcheckupsbutWanYufoundoutaboutit.JiaMingisayoungbossofasmalleateryandthoughhedisapprovedofKeXin’sarrogantattitude,hecouldnothelpbutfellinlovewithher.KeXinwasnotone,however,tohaveconfidenceinarelationshipasshehadbeenbroughtupinafamilywhereherfatherill-treatedhermother,herandhertwosiblingsandshedidnotwanttoriskbeinghurt.Furthermore,sheandJiaMingweredifferentinsocialstatus.Inaddition,JiaMingwasnevershortoffemalecompanions,justlikeherstaffXiaoNingwhosoughteveryopportunitytogethisattention.WhenitseemedthatJiaMinghadacceptedXiaoNing’saffection,KeXinwentintodeepanguish,confusion,andtorment.NeverdidsheexpectthatheryoungerbrotherLinKexiwastheoneinstrumentalinbringingJiaMingandXiaoNingtogether.KeXihadalwaysbeenunhappywithhissister’saggressivenessandarrogance.HewantedKeXintoknowwhatitfeltliketobejilted.Asonewhopossessedazestforlife,KeXiwasunabletorelatewithhisotherfamilymembers.Formanyyears,hismotherTangLiLianhadnotbeenabletowalkoutoftheshadowofherbrokenmarriage,andfailedtoshowloveandcareforhimandhissiblings.HiseldersisterKeXinwashaughtyandaloof,whilehisyoungersisterKeYiwascoopedupinherownworld.Thoughtheylivedtogether,theyweremorelikestrangers.Anyattempthemadetoimprovethetiesamonghisfamilymembershadallfallenthrough.Healsohopedtoreducethetensionbetweenhisfamilyandthatofhisuncle’sfamily,butmoreoftenthannot,theattemptshetriedbroughtforthmorestrains.SinceTangDaZhongbecameunconscious,WeiYeandWanYufellalloverthemselvesastheyprepareforthedaytoforceKeXintoquit,assoonastheoldmandies.Miraculously,DaZhongwokeupfromthecoma.Unwillingtoconcededefeat,theysecretlyforgedamedicalreport,whichindicatedthatKeXininheritedthesamegeneticmake-upofhergrandmotherthatwouldpredisposehertomentalbreakdowns.Immediately,therewasadrasticturnofevents…KeXinwasshockedbythefindingsasshewasreallytakeninbythemedicalreport.Hermotherandgrandfatherfounditevenhardertoacceptthenewsandwereataloss.Fromsomeonewhowasusuallysupercilious,capableandoverbearing,KeXinbecamehelpless,lost,depressedandweak.Shecutherselfofffromothersandpessimisticallywaitingforthemomentof“reckoning”.TangDaZhonghadalwaysbeenworriedthathischildrenmayinherithiswife’smentalillness.Neverhaditoccurredtohimthatthegranddaughterhedotedmostwouldbetheunfortunateone.Hedidnotknowwhattodo.KeXin’smother,whohadbeenrelyingonherdaughter,wasevenmoretraumatizedbythenewsthanKeXinherself.KeXiwishedtohelphiseldersisterbutrealizedthathewasincapableofanyhelp.KeYiwhooriginallyplannedtogooverseasfeltevenmorepowerlessinturningthetidesaround.WeiYegotwhathewantedwhenhetookcontrolofTangGroup.HeterminatedallincometoKeXin’sfamilythatrenderedtheminfinancialdistress.Closetoabreakdown,KeXintriedtocommitsuicidebutfailed.Instead,shewentintoacoma
