In order to support her younger sister Pingguo's studies, her elder sister Juezi stole the college tuition earned by her coworker Chen Ye when she was desperate. This debt became a shackles throughout her life and remained unresolved until her death. Before she died, she left her last words to Apple: She must find Chen Ye and repay him twice as much.
Bearing heavy shackles on his back, Apple finally found Chen Ye in a remote mountain village after many years of wandering. However, what awaits her is not a simple repayment, but a hellish scene: Chen Ye, who missed the opportunity to further his education because his tuition fees were stolen, had his life completely derailed and suffered a mental breakdown. He was later framed and unjustly imprisoned for many years, leaving only his elderly and frail mother at home.
Faced with this family that was indirectly destroyed by her sister and herself, Apple made a surprising decision: stay. She recognized Chen Ye's mother as her godmother, and used her thin shoulders to shoulder the burden of taking care of Chen Ye's mother and supporting this dilapidated family.
In a strange and difficult environment, Pingguo met Tangli, Taozi, and Hongguo. Four women, each with their own misfortunes and obsessions, work together to take care of Chen Ye, who is in a trance, and Chen's mother, who is frail.
The village bully who framed Chen Ye repeatedly came to bully him. From swallowing his anger to being forced to resist, four seemingly weak women used their wisdom, tenacity and the power of mutual support to deal with and fight against the powerful evil forces.
