The He family courtyard in the 1980s.
Her father-in-law plays favorites, her mother-in-law fakes illness to guilt-trip everyone, and her eldest sister-in-law scrupulously counts every morsel on other people's plates. Her third brother-in-law and his wife are lazy freeloaders who do nothing but mooch off others! Even the radio station's new pure-and-innocent intern has her eyes on her husband, He Yuanzheng, the handsome, aloof, ambitious deputy director of the machinery factory's second plant.
For the sake of supposedly "putting the family first and being a good wife," she endured everything in silence. In return, her sisters-in-law drained her dry, the fake innocent framed her, and she died with regrets.
When Shen Qinglan came to her senses, she decisively put away her saintly kindness!
Want to take everything from her? Not a chance! Want to drain the second branch to support your freeloading little brother? She flipped the table and split the family right then and there!
The fake innocent comes over to play the victim? Shen Qinglan gives her a resounding slap for being a two-faced flirt, exposing her pretty facade in front of everyone!
Her husband's virtue as a man on the rocks?
Divorce!
Shen Qinglan planned to take her savings and ride the wave of reform toward becoming the richest woman alive, but her husband pulled her into his arms, eyes red as he coaxed her softly: "Lanlan, the money is yours, and so am I. You can split the family, but can't you stay married to me?"
