She fell in love with Ashley Wilkes, but Ashley chose her cousin Melanie Hamilton and arranged a barbecue at 12 Oak Manor the next day to announce their engagement.

At 12 Oak Manor, she met Rhett Butler. In a discussion about war, Rhett said that the South had no chance to defeat the North. When Scarlett and Ashley were alone, she showed her love to Ashley. Ashley admitted that Scarlett was attractive, but Melanie was more suitable for her. Scarlett gave Ashley a slap in the face. When she found Rhett eavesdropping, she said, "Sir, you are not a gentleman!" " "("Sir, you are not a gentleman! " ) and Rhett retorted, "and you, miss, are not a lady! ("and you, miss, are not a lady! " )

That night, the war broke out and the men joined the army. Ashley married Melanie, and Scarlett retaliated by marrying Melanie's brother Charles. Ashley and Charles went to the front as conscripts. Soon Charles died of pneumonia in the army, and she became a widow.

Scarlett's mother sent her to Hamilton's home in Atlanta to make Scarlett happy. Scarlett and Melanie attended a charity ball, where she and Rhett met again. Rhett became a hero. Scarlett is still in mourning. She accepted Rhett's invitation to dance with him. While dancing, Rhett told Scarlett that he was determined to get her, and Scarlett said it would never be possible.

In the war, the American southern army was defeated, and Atlanta was crowded with wounded soldiers. Scarlett and Melanie volunteered to join the ranks of nurses to take care of the injured soldiers. Seeing the horrors brought by the war, the wayward Scarlett has matured a lot. At this time, the news came from the front, the union army came, and many people began to flee their homes in horror.

On her way home, she found that the Twelve Oaks had been burned, Tara was still there, her mother had just died, and her father was insane because of excessive sadness. Tara was ransacked by the army, and she became the pillar of the family. Scarlett vowed to stop her family from starving. "As God is my witness, I will never be hungry again." ("As God is my witness, I will never be hungry again." )

Scarlett led the servants to pick cotton for a living. She even shot a deserter from the North who tried to steal and found gold coins from his backpack. The war was over and the north won. Ashley returned to her hometown and was reunited with Melanie. Depressed Ashley found that he didn't help Tara. When Scarlett asked him to leave, he refused. Scarlett kissed him, but in the end he said he couldn't leave Melanie.

Gerald O 'Hara unfortunately fell off his horse and died while riding to expel a man who was peeping at his property. Scarlett continued to take care of the whole family, and she found it difficult to pay the heavy taxes on the manor. So she dressed up and went to Atlanta to ask Rhett for help. However, Rhett tells her that her foreign bank account has been frozen and she can't get help. On the way back, Scarlett met her sister Suellen's fiance Frank Kennedy, who successfully ran a shop and lumber mill.

Scarlett soon became Mrs. Frank Kennedy, and she became a pragmatic businessman. One day, Scarlett was attacked while passing through a slum. Frank, Ashley and other Klan members attacked the slums at night. Ashley was injured in the chaos, and Frank died unfortunately. Scarlett is a widow again.

At the end of Frank's funeral, Rhett appeared in front of Scarlett again and proposed to her. Scarlett was frightened by Rhett's bad appearance, but moved by his sincerity. After spending their honeymoon in New Orleans, Rhett promised to help Scarlett revive Tara. Soon, their daughter Bonnie was born, and Rhett devoted all his feelings to Bonnie. Scarlett, but it's still unforgettable for Ashley.

One day, after inspecting the factory, Scarlett heard Ashley say that she wanted to go back to her simple life. She hugged Ashley to comfort him. Their conversation was heard by Ashley's sister India Wilkes. India has always been dissatisfied with Scarlett, which has ruined Scarlett's reputation. But Melanie didn't believe these rumors and invited Scarlett to Ashley's birthday party. Rhett was drunk and dragged Scarlett up the stairs, warning, "This night belongs to me only." ("You won't kick me out tonight." ) The next morning, when Scarlett woke up to start over with Rhett, Rhett asked her for a divorce and took Bonnie to London. When they come back, Scarlett tells Rhett that she is pregnant again, and Rhett looks very cold. Rhett walked out of the house, and Scarlett ran after him, but she accidentally fell down the stairs and miscarried.

Scarlett slowly recovered, and Rhett was ready to make up with her. Little Bonnie fell off her pony like her grandfather and died. Scarlett and Rhett blamed each other, and Melanie came to comfort them. Melanie soon became ill because of overwork during pregnancy. Before she died, she asked Scarlett to take care of Ashley for her and told Scarlett how much Rhett loved her. Outside, Ashley burst into tears, and Scarlett finally realized that she was insignificant to Ashley. Her love for Ashley doesn't really exist. What she really needs is Rhett.

Scarlett ran home only to find Rhett packing and leaving her, and said it was too late to save their marriage. Scarlett begged Rhett not to leave her and said that she had always loved Rhett, and she had never loved Ashley. Rhett said that after Bonnie died, they still had a chance to get back together, and now the chance is gone.

When Rhett stepped out of the gate, Scarlett asked, "Rhett, if you leave, where shall I go?" What should I do? "("Rhett, if you leave, where shall I go? What should I do? " ) Rhett said, "Frankly speaking, dear, I don't care at all. Frankly speaking, dear, I don't care at all. ")

Scarlett stood on the steps, and her despair rekindled her hope: "Tara, my home! I’m going home. I'll let him come back one day! After all, tomorrow is another day! " ("Tara! Go home. I want to go home! I want to find a way to get him back! After all, tomorrow is another day! " )
