Three women who started working together experience life's trials and tribulations at work, learning to accept an ordinary life.
Shen Nian, a soldier's wife assigned to the town hospital, studies hard despite all the gossip. She thought she'd follow her husband after they married, but her fiancé, whom she'd never even met, was injured and discharged from the military. He now works as a security guard.
In the 1980s, a security guard was also known as a gatekeeper.
Once her beloved, then her pursuer, and now her husband-to-be, Xiang Junhao wants nothing from Shen Nian. All she wants is a quiet life.
Watching Shen Nian, who rarely smiles, Xiang Junhao silently takes out a divorce agreement...
Liu Ying, the innocent and naive daughter of a company employee, goes through a blind date, a whirlwind marriage, and a quick divorce. Her dream of simply being a girly girl ultimately comes to nothing.
Feng Juan, also the daughter of a company employee, is scheming and pursues her Prince Charming relentlessly. She gets what she wants but doesn't cherish it, turning them into a bitter couple.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, they've tasted every flavor life has to offer, and only then do they understand that an ordinary, peaceful life is the most genuine of all.
