本剧看点/Synopsis in Chinese:  

西关,自古以来就是广州最繁盛的乎区,住在西关大屋的人,全都是广州最富裕、身份显赫的商人。东山,自清末民初以来,就是军政要人的聚居地,住在东方洋房的人,全部是举足轻重的权贵名人。

西关小姐,就是既保留传统文化、又接受高等教育的千金小姐。东山少爷,就是放洋留学的官门子弟。两者皆是人中龙凤,互相爱慕自是理所当然,羡煞旁人,不在话下。但,所谓门当户对,又是否真的美满幸福?

一个出身贫穷的艇家女,最后都可以成为女强人;而一个同样是不知身份的穷小子,摇身一变成为东山少爷,随后更掀起了一幕幕血雨腥风的利欲斗争,最后亲友走的走,死的死,众叛亲离……
故事大纲  叶向晴(佘诗曼饰)生於西关,出身大户人家,可惜在她年少时,其父意外身亡;向晴的哥哥年纪尚轻,经验不足,未能守业,结果导至欠债累累,从此家道中落。向晴唯有与向阳一起勤奋地在荔湾经营粥艇。忙於生计,向晴早已忘记男女之事,直到她遇上潘卓华(黄浩然饰)。此时此刻的向晴与卓华,不论身份和地位均十分悬殊,卓华母亲庄凤仪(汪明荃饰)对两者来往当然大加反对,百般阻挠。

后来,卓华跟方宝琦(李诗韵饰)结婚,但他对向晴还没忘情,故夫妻感情淡泊如水,丝毫没有进展。原来贵为千金的宝琦,心中所爱竟是一名小混混关浩长(萧正楠饰),但由於身份悬殊,宝琦与浩长的关系始终敌不过社会压力,被逼分手告终。不过当宝琦嫁给卓华后,她才渐渐明白何谓真爱,要是一对男女没有感情而被逼一起是何等痛苦,再加上她被向晴的积极人生观所感染,她终跟卓华达成协议、排除万难而离婚……

叶向晴因为庄凤仪阻止入门,之后发愤做一个女强人,其后更与庄凤仪另一个儿子潘卓兴(马德钟饰)发生感情,继而结为夫妻。不过潘卓兴是庄凤仪的一个私生子,因为庄凤仪是一个大家族里的传统女性,在封建时代下,嫁夫随夫,饱受家翁压逼,严守三从四德,把未婚生子一事视为人生一大污点,极力隐瞒,即使是儿子的生父,亦即庄凤仪的丈夫也被蒙在鼓里。以致潘卓兴自小流落街头卖艺,后来到潘家做司机,最后身份被暴露,因此当上了大家族的大当家,而潘卓华原来可以继承大当家的位置,但却被半路杀出了一个“大哥”,于是兄弟间的展开利欲斗争,而潘卓兴当上了大当家后,本来单纯善良的小子性情大变,最后弟弟和母亲都因他而死……
