In the late autumn of 1974, Song Ying, who was nine months pregnant, woke up from her daughter's children's words - "Daddy hugs Aunt Zhen and hides in the woodshed to kiss her." Memories of her tragic death in childbirth in her previous life came flooding back, and she discovered that this marriage had been a well-designed scam from beginning to end: her husband Chen Yijun was living with his wife Bai Shuzhen, her mother-in-law Li Cui poisoned the porridge, and even the child she gave birth to desperately became a bargaining chip to seize her family's property.
After reviving her life, Song Ying took off her meek mask. She hides her edge and spins a web secretly: a hospital diagnosis reveals a murder conspiracy, a childish child's words crucify adultery, and a midwife's confession exposes a blood debt. When she threw out all the evidence in public at the street mediation room, the hypocritical masks of the Chen family's mother and son were shattered to pieces.
After the divorce, she used the "click-click" sound of the sewing machine to spell out her first wages from rags, then started the "Yingying Sewing Group" and then listed the "Red Star Sewing Cooperative". The man who always brought her a desk lamp and hot tea late at night - Li Tang, a retired soldier, accompanied her through the darkest night with his silent protection.
But the viper was not dead. Chen Yijun committed a murder with a knife, Mrs. Chen planned an "accident", Bai Shuzhen wandered around... Song Ying used evidence as a blade, took advantage of the times, and finally exposed all crimes to the sun on the public trial stage with thousands of people.
This is the story of a woman who managed to break out of the mud and sew suffering into something beautiful. Spring mud protects flowers, and the buds that have endured the cold winter will eventually grow into towering trees in their own soil.
