While recovering from childbirth, she learns how to conduct herself and do business from her older brothers.

On the train, she faces down a gang of pickpockets alone. Then one of her brothers' former classmates comes calling, hoping to court her.

She shares her good fortune with her employees, who in turn stand by her when times are hard. When something happens to her only daughter, they support her from behind the scenes.

Follow Lin Fang as she grows from a lone tree into a whole forest.

Alongside her employees, she overcomes one challenge after another in the 1990s and becomes a leader in Yuncheng's industry.
