After Liu Lang was forced to join the army, Cuizhu carried the entire family on his thin shoulders. She serves her mean parents-in-law and raises three sensible children - the steady and filial Liu Lei, the diligent fishing Liu Xiao, and the diligent and thrifty Liu Xiaomei. However, what she got in return was day after day beatings and scoldings from her parents-in-law and the stigma of being a "kefu". On that rainy night, she was mercilessly driven out of the house and kept on her knees all day and night until she was dying. Seeing that she was barely alive, her parents-in-law and uncle Liu Hun decided to throw her into a mass grave in the back hill. When she was about to die, a ray of soul from another world returned, and she realized that she was originally from this time and space. A group of mysterious wolves guarded her and brought her herbs. After recovering from her injuries, she returned with the meat hunted by the wolves, but what she saw was the children who were as skinny as wood and trembling with fear. What made her most heartbroken was when she discovered that the hideous wound on the leg of her eldest son Liu Lei was actually a piece of flesh cut off by the cruel uncle, just to "sativate" his own son! Cuizhu's tears dried up instantly, leaving only a cold light in her eyes. She no longer held back and rose up with her scarred children to resist. With the sympathy and help of the villagers, they successfully separated their families. With the help of modern knowledge, she taught the villagers how to make tofu, boil sugar and stir-fry plums during the famine years, and sold the delicious cold noodles, and her life gradually became prosperous. The eldest brother Liu Lei married the kind-hearted Chuntao, and the family became rich through hard work and lived a prosperous life. The uncle's family, who had done many evil things, finally got their retribution, and the parents-in-law died alone in the mountains behind in poverty and regret. Eight years later, Liu Lang returned and the family was finally reunited. Cuizhu took the children to see the tombs of her parents-in-law, repaying evil with kindness, and painted a picture of this heavy past.
