Bao (Thanh Thuc) hires a detective to follow Mrs. Thanh (Than Thuy Ha) to find out her weakness. One day, the detective discovers Mrs. Thanh visiting a grave, confessing that years ago she set a trap for this man to get pregnant with Khoi (Le Nguyen Bao).
Suspecting that Khoi was not his father's son, Bao secretly did a DNA test to verify.
With the DNA test results in hand, Bao immediately held a family meeting to reveal the truth about the "illegitimate child's" identity. The secret that had been hidden for many years suddenly came to light, and Mrs. Thanh had to confess everything and ask her husband for forgiveness.
Years ago, after a fight that left Mr. Thien injured and infertile, Ms. Thanh decided to get pregnant at all costs to keep her husband because she was afraid that Mr. Thien would return to Ms. Hue (Meritorious Artist Tuyet Thu) and her children.
Facing the harsh truth calmly, Mr. Thien did not blame his wife, but still loved and defended Khoi and her children as if nothing had happened.
This situation made Bao extremely disappointed. Bao blamed Mr. Thien for being biased and blindly favoring Khoi and her mother while he was his biological child.
At this point, Mr. Thien had to tell his only son the truth about his plans for the past decades. He knew everything that Mrs. Thanh had done to Bao since he was a child, and "treating him with the rod and punishing him with the sweetest of treats" was his way of responding.
Mr. Thien had known for 20 years that Khoi was not his biological son. He did not divorce Ms. Thanh because he wanted to take advantage of her investment in the company, and also because he was proud and did not want to be accused of being a cuckold.
