In the eyes of her peers, Aduni is a strange girl who "doesn't accept her fate". After her mother died of illness, her father sold her to taxi driver Morufu as his wife. However, she doesn't want to be the "bride" that everyone envies, and she doesn't want to get pregnant and have children. Heavy labor, family abuse and unbridled humiliation have never extinguished the spark of her dream: she wants to go back to school and become a teacher in the future. She wants to use education as a weapon to declare war on the cruel life. She wanted to break the silence and express her inner voice. In Aduni's world, she witnessed all kinds of silent battles of women: some fought with their bodies to earn a shelter for their families, but died in the wild; some fought with money and prospered in the business world, but had to endure the betrayal of their husbands. Aduni gritted his teeth and told himself that he would never surrender to this injustice. However, for Aduni, the beginning of saving the world is to save himself...
