1998, Nancheng Old Alley. 18-Year-old Lin Xiaocao is the only female apprentice at the Xiangkou Auto Repair Shop. Her hands are greasy but her eyes are bright. She thought that after her childhood sweetheart Xu Wenqing finished college, she could look forward to a stable life.
Before the wedding comes, a terminal illness comes first. Her husband Xu Wenqing passed away in his prime, leaving behind a blind mother-in-law, an infant son, and an old case that had been buried for many years. In order to collect money for surgery, his adoptive father Li Shouyi accidentally got the stigma of being "greedy for money and murderous" and died in hatred. Overnight, all the burdens fell on the shoulders of this woman in her early twenties.
The heir to the group, Gu Chenyuan, returned with the revenge of killing his father. He believed that Lin Xiaocao was the daughter of his enemy, and set up traps to suppress her at every turn. But in each confrontation, what he saw was not a humble widow, but a tenacity that could not be broken or defeated - she drove a taxi, opened a night market, opened an auto repair shop, and gritted her teeth to put the broken days back together bit by bit.
From tit-for-tat to investigating cases side by side, the two teamed up to uncover a business conspiracy that spanned twenty years, cleared up the grievances of two generations, and also solved the mystery of Xiaocao's life experience. In the wave of the times, Xiaocao worked his way up from a low-level driver to create his own travel platform and became the umbrella of his family.
Twenty years of wind, frost, snow and rain, she cried and suffered, but never gave up. The grass in the cracks in the rocks eventually grew toward the sun and became its own sun.
Intention: A woman's life is never born with grass and grass; she is born facing the sun after stepping on the mud and surviving the frost, and finally being able to take root and hold her own umbrella.
