During the troubled times of the Republic of China, Fang Fen, a young lady from a well-known family, went overseas to study. She met and got to know the high-spirited young marshal Chen Ziqian, and spent a wonderful time together in a foreign country. With expectations for the future, the two returned to China to get married.
However, reality is not as beautiful as imagined. The constraints of her husband's family, women's status in the family, and her husband's deep-rooted machismo made her gradually lost in the marriage. She worked hard to maintain it, but in the disputes and disappointments, she finally saw the irreparable rift between them. After her divorce, she returned to the pulpit and became a literature teacher at the university. It was here that she met a smart and agile female student.
In that old era, this relationship was destined to be criticized, but they still came together. Breaking away from worldly vision and confinement, she finally found true freedom and someone who could walk side by side with her.
