During the Civil War, Concord, Massachusetts. In an old house, the March family lived. Mr. March went with the army to take care of the wounded, leaving his wife and four teenage daughters-Meg, Joe, Beth and Amy at home. Meg is slender and virtuous; Joe is straightforward and dreams of becoming a writer; Beth is gentle and quiet, and likes to play the piano; Amy is beautiful and lively and likes to paint. Mrs. March is kind and simple. Although her family is not rich, she often saves money to help the poor. Under the influence of her mother, the four sisters who are kind-hearted also often help the poor. They even gave the long-awaited Christmas breakfast to a poor German family. When their neighbor Mr. Lawrence heard about the incident, he admired the little girls and prepared a sumptuous meal as a Christmas present for them.
Joe fell in love with the old man's grandson Laurie and became good friends, while Meg fell in love with Laurie's tutor, John at first sight. Little Amy, who loves top notch in everything, sometimes gets into trouble with his second sister Joe, but gets back together quickly. A telegram brought the unfortunate news: Mr. March was seriously ill and was hospitalized. Mrs. March hurried to Washington at once. As soon as his mother left, Beth contracted scarlet fever while caring for a sick child from a poor family. Ma Qi's house was shrouded in a layer of haze. The four sisters loved each other, helped and encouraged each other and overcame the difficulties with great courage. Soon, his mother and father who had recovered from a serious illness returned home, and Beth also began to recover. The March family reunited happily again.
Things changed and the stars moved, and four years passed in a blink of an eye. Meg and John are in love and become a couple. Laurie, who has graduated from college, confided his love to Joe, but was rejected. Laurie left home angrily and went to Europe. In Nice, France, he ran into Amy, who was sent by his aunt to study painting in Europe. The two talked very speculatively, and they had a deeper understanding of each other. At this time, Joe had been a governess in New York, and met a gracious German governess Mr. Barr. After receiving news that his sister Beth is critically ill, Joe hastily returned to love before he could say goodbye to Barr. The cute little Beth is dead. With great grief, Qiao created a novel based on the real life of her and her sisters.
Soon, Meg gave birth to twins, and Laurie returned to Concord with his newly married wife Amy. March's house became lively again. After the aunt's death, she left her big house to Joe, who took the advice of her mother and converted it into a school. One day, Barr appeared in front of Joe again. Joe begged Barr to stay and teach in her school. He kissed her and accepted the suggestion at the same time
