Taking the social changes of the 1980s as the background, the core revolves around "women's awakening and family struggle". The heroine He Yicha is the technical backbone of a textile factory. She won the provincial competition with her outstanding skills, but this caused family conflicts - her husband Su Yuntao was bound by traditional concepts and was dissatisfied with his wife's "publicity", and the relationship between husband and wife was on the verge of breakdown. At the same time, Su Yuntao's sister-in-law Yan Cuilin coveted the family's allowance and housing, and teamed up with outsiders to frame He Yicha in an attempt to drive him out of the house.
Under the dual pressure of career and family, He Yicha went from tolerant compromise to resolute counterattack: she collected clues that Yan Cuilin forged evidence and paid bribes to frame her, and with the support of factory director Nan Ci and reporter Ouyang Xinhai, she proved her innocence; faced with Su Yuntao's incomprehension and betrayal, she resolutely filed for divorce and fought for the custody of her children. Fate gave her a chance to be reborn. Going back to the year before the tragedy, He Yicha relied on her prediction of the future to make plans in advance, protect her children, develop her career, and finally get rid of the shackles of her family and become an independent and self-reliant woman in the new era. This also made Su Yuntao, Yan Cuilin and others pay their due price.
