"The Price of Repentance" tells the story of a family in a rural area. In order to have a boy, Huang Lizhen tried every possible means to conceive a second child even though she was only allowed to have one child. However, the birth of her daughter Yuanyuan broke her dream, so Yuanyuan became the "little more money maker" in the minds of Huang Lizhen and her grandmother. When Yuanyuan was growing up, she was treated undeservedly and even abused by her mother and others, which caused her heart to be seriously damaged since she was a child. Huang Lizhen was greatly shocked when her daughter ran away from home several times. She confessed to her daughter from the depths of her heart and was very kind to her, but these good things led her to the abyss step by step.
