In the 1980s, the textile machines were roaring, and Shang Qinmei's husband He Yongqiang cheated on her again and again, from a 20-year-old salesperson in a shopping mall to a new charming woman from out of town. Every time she was found, she knelt down and confessed, but she never had the heart to break off this riddled marriage.
In the wave of reform and opening up, Shang Qinmei started out as a female garment factory assembly line worker. With many years of textile experience and tenacity to refuse to admit defeat, she decided to go south by chance.
She met Ge Jieqiu, the owner of the Southern Textile Factory. He admired the way she gritted her teeth and persevered in difficult situations, and was even more attracted by her determination and independence.
After returning home, Shang Qinmei no longer hesitated. With the confidence she had accumulated over the years, and with the help of her lawyer and Ge Jieqiu, she finally got rid of this suffocating marriage. After that, she blossomed in the hot land of the south, weaved a new life with her own hands, and gained equal and sincere love.
