Shen Ningzhi transformed into a "slut" who was framed by her stepmother in the 1980s. She became pregnant before marriage and was disgraced. She fled to a coastal town and gave birth to her son Xiaobao alone. She lives anonymously and relies on her superb Suzhou embroidery and clothing design to make a living, living a poor but peaceful life.
Five years later, the town became a window for foreign trade due to reform and opening up. The cheongsam designed by Shen Ningzhi was unexpectedly favored by foreign guests, and orders came in one after another. She gradually emerged in the foreign-related clothing circle. At the same time, the military region chief Lu Yanzhou - the ex-boyfriend who was rumored to have "sacrificed" - returned alive and came to the door with a paternity test. Facing Xiaobao who looked exactly like him, and then looking at the cold and distant Shen Ningzhi, the iron-blooded leader was completely panicked.
Lu Yanzhou settled in the town forcefully and clumsily pursued his wife: giving food stamps, repairing the house, chasing away gangsters, but was pushed away time and time again. Shen Ningzhi's work was selected as a national gift, but her stepmother's daughter plagiarized and framed her, and Lu Yanzhou secretly protected her. When Xiaobao was sick, he guarded her all night long and finally cracked open a corner of Shen Ningzhi's defense. The truth was revealed that year - the stepmother intercepted letters and forged news of her sacrifice.
Lu Yanzhou apologized in public and severely punished the Shen family. Shen Ningzhi became the first batch of fashion designers to go international after the reform and opening up. Lu Yanzhou shed his cold pride and transformed into a wife slave. A family of three climbed onto the Tiananmen viewing platform to witness the great changes of the times.
