In the 1990s, eighteen-year-old Gu Nian lost her entire family overnight when her maternal uncle poisoned them all. All she had left was a tiled-roof house, two hundred yuan, and a pair of knitting needles her mother had left behind.
She became the last of her family, with no one left to carry on the family line. Relying on her own two hands, one street, and a crowd of people with real hearts and real flaws, private motives as well as loyalty, she built everything from nothing. Amid all the ordinary family squabbles, she made a life others envied, and turned the taciturn man by her side into someone who would share both hardship and happiness with her amid the simple warmth of everyday life.
