Lin Xiu has been a "good woman" for more than ten years.
She guarded the stove and took care of her three children, thinking that swallowing her grievances would bring her peace and stability in the years to come. It wasn't until the evidence of her husband's cheating hit her face like a slap in the face that she realized that the home she had tried her best to protect no longer had a place for her.
Divorce, leaving home, and restarting in middle age.
From the humblest apprentice in a beauty salon to the stall owner with red hands in the wholesale market in the early morning, Lin Xiu picked up the shattered dignity piece by piece in the "fireworks" of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
She once thought that the return of her first love was a compensation from fate, but found that in the adult world, love cannot bear the weight of six children;
