Su Jinyu believed that her naked marriage to Zhang Haishen was the starting point for her to escape from her original family and start a new life.
She devoted everything she had to helping her husband run the inn, gave birth to two sons, and worked hard to build a small family of her own. However, just when she thought her life was on the right track, the traditional shackles of the two families quietly tightened.
Because her eldest brother was unmarried, her husband's family forced her to "adopt" a son to continue the family's legacy; because her brother was disabled and had no offspring, her mother's family also longed for a child to inherit the bloodline. Her flesh and blood became the "bargain" that the two families took for granted.
On one side is the cowardly and wavering husband, and on the other side are the relatives who are pressing harder and harder. Under the abduction of family affection "for your own good", Su Jinyu's "home" is on the verge of collapse.
When her patience reached its limit, she finally understood that giving in would not bring respect. Let's see how a once-scorned housewife fights back and fights for a way to dignity and freedom for herself and her children in the gap between tradition and modernity.
