(Family life + Building wealth + Devoted husband + Sweet romance)
Xu Yi has had terrible luck. Abandoned by her mother at birth, she endures torment at the hands of her stepmother and is forced to move to the countryside.
After her father dies, she tries to return to the city, only for her stepsister to take the job meant for her and her stepmother to take her home.
With no other choice, she returns to the countryside and gets married. Less than six months into her pregnancy, her husband and father-in-law die while quarrying on a mountain.
She takes her child and sick mother-in-law to the city for treatment, but can't afford the medical bills.
With nowhere else to turn, she becomes a nanny for a senior leader's family, caring for his nephew, a poor little boy who lost both parents at birth.
By day, she looks after the child and does chores. She studies whenever she can and always looks for ways to earn money.
The senior leader gives her money under the pretext of thanking her, and stays up late to teach her study techniques.
His mother wants to take Xu Yi as her goddaughter and find her a live-in son-in-law.
The senior leader immediately refuses: "Comrade Xu is independent. She can make it without relying on another man."
Later, Comrade Xu passes her teacher training exam, opens a small clothing workshop, and even plans to buy a bankrupt toy factory. Before long, she's surrounded by one eligible suitor after another.
The senior leader, eyes red with jealousy, blocks her way and asks, "What do you think of me, Comrade Xu?"
