Growing up in the pastoral scenery of southern England, Margaret (Daniela Damby-Ash Daniela Denby-Ashe) has moved to the completely unfamiliar northern town of Milton after her father quit his job as a priest. Unlike the warmth and comfort of the south, Milton was cold and messy during the industrial revolution. The road is no longer fragrant flowers and plants, replaced by rude workers, cotton flying textile workshop. In addition to the maladjustment of the new environment, the domineering and harsh treatment of workers by the textile mill owner, young industrialist John Thornton (Richard Armitage Richard Armitage), made Margaret's first impression of Thornton extremely bad. As Milton's life deepened, Marguerite gradually realized the tenderness and pain behind the workers' rough temper and stood firmly on their side. Thornton, his opposite employer, fell in love with Marguerite at first sight, but he seemed to push Marguerite further and further away. Like the south and the north, they are diametrically opposed but closely connected.
