The early morning in Taoxi Village was broken by the sound of horse hooves - Chen Yan, who had disappeared for four years and was believed to have been killed in battle, returned home with a tall horse, a green cloth covered carriage and guards carrying swords, accompanied by a delicate woman who was pregnant with Liujia.
The news immediately stirred up the small village, and villagers gathered around the dilapidated hut of the Chen family to discuss: some were envious of Chen Yan's beauty, while others denounced his first wife Lin Wanqiu as a "spicy stealer" and should be abandoned; some secretly lamented Lin Wanqiu's miserable life - she was sold into the village and had to support the Chen family and raise her daughter alone for four years. Now that her husband has returned, she has no place to stay, and her mother's family has long since fled the country and has lost contact.
Inside the house, Mother Chen's cries, Chen Yan's whispers and the bride's cough were intertwined; outside the house, onlookers' comments and curiosity were intertwined. This scenic return to the hometown has torn apart the tranquility of the countryside and pushed the fate of Lin Wanqiu and Nianqiu into the unknown. A battle about old love, new love and survival has just begun.
