In 1999, a Nokia screen lights up with a text: “Got the New Year’s money. You were amazing last night.” It shatters Lin Qiusui’s dream of being a devoted wife, left alone in the mountains for five years. On New Year’s Eve, snow falls thickly outside. Inside, her two children are asleep, and her husband, Zhao Deyong, lies beside her, pretending to sleep while reeking of alcohol. For five years she has cared for her parents-in-law and scrimped and saved, unwilling even to buy herself a new padded coat. In return, she gets nothing but betrayal. She returns to her parents’ home for help, only to be mocked by her greedy brother and sister-in-law, while her own parents care only about asking her for money to support their grandson. On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, her son comes down with a sudden high fever. Carrying him, Lin Qiusui slips and falls on a muddy mountain road. Just as she thinks she and her child are about to tumble off the cliff, a pair of rough, powerful hands catches her firmly around the waist. Chen Ye, her first love, whom her parents once broke apart from her because they thought he was too poor, is now a well-known construction contractor in town. With half a cigarette in his mouth and a wolfish gleam in his eyes, he shoves her and the child into his SUV. “If Zhao Deyong won’t love you, I will!” Faced with a suffocating marriage and a family that bleeds her dry, Lin Qiusui will no longer endure it. She will use every resource she can to carve a way out of this life-devouring mire!
