In the troubled countryside of the 1940s, Liu Niannian married into the Wei family to repay a favor, but fell into an endless quagmire. Her husband is cowardly and her mother-in-law is mean. She relies on her keen insight (goldfinger) to struggle to survive in a desperate situation. The pain of losing her son, the suspicion of losing her husband, and the entanglement of her ex-husband, she transformed into a strong person step by step, but found that every step of her resistance became an indelible scar in the heart of her daughter Ding Yun. This is a tragic song of survival written by women with blood and tears in the torrent of the times. It is also an arduous journey about forgiveness, reconciliation and self-salvation.
