[Preferring sons over daughters + family life + marriage + two-way redemption] Jiang Xiaonian, Lin Yan, and Jiang Nan are college classmates and best friends. Although they have different choices after graduation, they have always kept in touch. After graduating from college, Jiang Xiaonian married her senior. After the marriage, she had a lovely baby and a happy life that others envied. However, only she knew that she could not balance her family, ideals, and work, and her life was a mess. Lin Yan was once expected to be a boy by her father, but she turned out to be a girl. Her mother had high hopes for her. She also had her own ambitions and chose to drift to Beijing. It was hard for her to gain a foothold in a big city, but her mother kept urging her to get married because of her age. In the end, faced with her father's serious illness and his dying wish, she gave up everything and returned to her hometown to get married. As soon as Jiang Nan graduated, she obeyed her mother's advice and returned to her hometown to become a civil servant. However, her mother's strong desire to control left her with many thorns in her emotional journey. In order to get rid of the prison of her home, she committed suicide in exchange for freedom. After some setbacks, the three girls encouraged each other, comforted each other, broke away from the world, broke prejudices, and finally found their way in the lost world of ideals, feelings, and family.
