The honest and dutiful heroine Lin Wanjing married into the Chen family, who are also loyal and have a good reputation. Her parents-in-law are gentle, but because they are not good at words and care about people, they are often taken advantage of by their snobbish and acrimonious relatives who buy houses in the city. Her husband is also dumb and clueless. The heroine's temperament follows her mother's, and she is kind and tolerant but does not fight back. After a series of explicit and implicit ridicules from relatives, the heroine is taught step by step to refuse, talk back to relatives, and draw clear boundaries between relationships. The heroine slowly learns to be tough. Later, when the heroine became pregnant and was affected by hormones, she no longer swallowed her anger. With the help of a relative's fake care and unreasonable comments, she took a strong stand in public and refused to interfere with her family life. She clearly drew a clear line between closeness and distance, and completely cured the bad relatives. In the end, the Chen family got rid of the difficulties caused by relatives, and the heroine grew from a docile and forbearing daughter-in-law to a wife and mother-to-be who was capable of protecting her family. The family continued to live a stable and warm life.
