Benedict, the eldest son of the immensely wealthy Pei family, died in a fire while traveling. His widow, Isolde, took control of the family seal and seized the Pei family business, sparking discontent and opposition from the clan elders. Isolde paid little attention to the relatives' gossip and criticism, but everything changed with the return of Nathaniel, the long-lost second son of the Pei family. Nathaniel made a dramatic appearance at his brother's funeral, holding Benedict's will and personal tokens, claiming that his brother had left everything to him and that he was the true heir of the Pei family. To Isolde's astonishment, Nathaniel looked exactly like Benedict.
