After hearing Gao Xuchu’s advice that men should work outside the home and women should take care of it, Gu Chendong embarks on the full-time road of “pushing her child to succeed.” But pushing a child doesn’t guarantee they’ll reach the top. Her child rebels from an early age, her marriage becomes a performance, and her mother-in-law is overbearing. She scolds her child, her husband, and her mother-in-law, gradually turning into the very person she used to despise. Rather than push her child, she decides to push herself and find herself again! On one side are her chauvinistic husband, overbearing mother-in-law, and troublemaking child; on the other is her career. These two personal infernos put her to the test, but she overcomes every obstacle. In just two years, she earns the notoriously difficult CPA license. After enduring ruthless workplace competition, she uses her intelligence to hold her ground. Though she loses her way for a time, she eventually realizes that what she seeks is neither to become a career woman nor to achieve the so-called perfect balance between family and work, but to gain society’s “respect” for women.
