The 29-year-old Cao Ziwei, the backbone of Chinese language in the county middle school, has gained a firm foothold on the three-foot podium, but he has also fallen into a career bottleneck. Returning home late at night, looking at her two children, a thought deep in her heart suddenly emerged - she wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination and fight for her life again. Her husband Chang Yi's full support allowed her to embark on this thorny road of balancing work, family and exam preparation without hesitation.
Three years ago, a betrayal turned her against her former best friend. Zheng Chengcheng, Lan Xiaoye, Song Meihui and others took advantage of her pregnancy to kick her and Chang Yi, who was still teaching in the middle school, out of the team on the grounds of "uselessness" and monopolize the project results. Today, these workplace rivals are still keeping an eye on her and are constantly scheming in secret. Little did Cao Ziwei know that the project she had been ghostwriting for the school secretary when she was in dire straits had already been quietly established, which became a secret foreshadowing of her counterattack.
On one side are the piles of homework books and the pressure of open classes; on the other side are the postgraduate entrance exam questions and reciting outlines under the desk lamp late at night; on the other side are the trivial warmth of family, and on the other side are the overt and covert threats in the workplace. Cao Ziwei uses his pen as his blade and his tenacity as his armor to move forward arduously on the road of daily life and pursuit of dreams. She not only wants to prove that she is not "useless", but also wants to break the established trajectory of fate and write her own sunny life at the age of thirty. This is a story about persistence, counterattack and growth, witnessing how a woman shines the most dazzlingly in the gap between family, career and ideals.
Intention: growth; hard work.
