In early spring 1989, the widow Tong Layue returns to the turning point of the tragedy. In her past life, her husband died young, she made a wrong marriage to a villain, and her two children met a miserable end, filled with regret and remorse. Living her life over again, she resolutely refuses to remarry, protecting her two children, Daniu and Da'e. Relying on her memories of her past life to go into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs and fish in the river, desperately making money to support her family, step by step she takes back the grain fields usurped by her in-laws. Righteous and courageous, she grows close to her neighbor, the retired military doctor Lu Xingzhou. Amidst the rustic hearth and home of the 1980s countryside, she breaks free from worldly prejudice, guards her family, and carves out a brand-new, good life.
