Reborn before 1980, Gu Xiuxiu firmly leaves her abusive ex-husband and walks away with nothing but her twins, a boy and a girl.
When her in-laws frame her, upright army officer Lu Tingzhou steps in to help, and she lands a job at a state-owned factory.
Born with a beautiful singing voice, she captivates everyone with a folk song and earns a place in the factory’s arts troupe ahead of schedule. Taking advantage of the winds of reform and opening up, she hones her craft while looking for opportunities to start a business and build a career.
She takes on the most outrageous troublemakers and breaks through one predicament after another. Army officer Lu Tingzhou is utterly devoted to his wife, while the single mother rises step by step to build a brilliant life.
