After three years of living like a widow and being treated like livestock, Zhou Qiao has endured so much humiliation that she's resigned herself to her fate.
Her mother-in-law treats her like an animal, tormenting and beating her, and never even giving her enough to eat.
She does the hardest labor, suffers the cruelest abuse, and lives worse than a pig or a dog.
Just as she's about to drown in her miserable life, Yuan Yueshan, the rugged man who lives in the back courtyard, becomes her lifeline!
He's notorious for his ferocity, but he's always stood up for her.
When her mother-in-law bullies her, he hits back, scaring the wicked old woman into silence.
When her mother dies of illness, he quietly gives her money.
He teaches her to fight back, to stand tall, and tells her a woman doesn't have to suffer in silence.
After her mother-in-law sells her off once again, she decides to kill herself.
As she closes her eyes, a baby's cry brings her back to the world of the living.
From that day on, she becomes a strong mother, no longer afraid of anyone.
She accepts Yuan Yueshan's love and protection.
When her scumbag husband returns with his wife and child, she finally escapes her living hell.
She thinks she's finally made it through the worst and can live a warm, peaceful life.
But she never imagined an even greater brush with death was still waiting for her!
A love betrayed? No way forward?
She tears into her wicked mother-in-law, serves the scumbag a face-slapping, kicks the trash out of her life, and breaks free of every shackle!
Her rugged man has her back, and she grows stronger against the odds, transforming from a pushover everyone could bully into a modern woman who can stand on her own.
