Xia Qingning, a state-owned factory worker, was cowardly and bullied by her father-in-law's ex-wife, Wang Mingfang, and eventually died tragically. Returning to the 1980s, Xia Qingning vowed not to be cowardly anymore, to fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood.

As they got along, Lu Jingzhe fell in love with her, and the two of them changed from just being "husband and wife" to a real couple who liked each other. After Xia Qingning joined the army, the couple had a child and their sweet life envy everyone.
