Starting with just 8,000 yuan, Chen Yating and Wang Hai weather ten years of trials together. Chen Yating gives everything she has, enduring hardship alongside her penniless husband as they set up a street stall. They overcome one obstacle after another and join forces to build a restaurant chain worth three billion yuan. In the eyes of others, Wang Hai is honest, devoted, and devoted to his family, a rare catch. But Chen Yating knows all too well that after becoming rich, greed has completely corrupted him.
With a fortune worth hundreds of millions in hand, Wang Hai shows his true nature. He secretly keeps six mistresses at once, recklessly squandering their shared assets. To take sole control of the entire business, he spends years plotting, working with his mistresses to transfer marital assets, strip Chen Yating of all authority, and devour everything she has worked for.
When Chen Yating gathers complete evidence of his affairs and illegal asset transfers, intending to divorce him and reclaim what is hers, Wang Hai drops every pretense of decency. He carefully stages a gas leak accident and cruelly murders the wife who has been by his side for ten years. She dies bearing a grudge, consumed by resentment. Her soul is trapped in the jade pendant she always wore, unable to move on to the next life. As she watches her husband's killer disguise himself as a devoted widower, while a pack of mistresses divides up the fruits of her ten years of labor and lives in luxury, the vengeful spirit awakens. If justice will not be served, she will collect the debt herself. She will sow discord, torment them day and night, and make Wang Hai and every accomplice pay for their blood debts!
