Qiao Yue fried dough sticks to support Shen Peichuan through college, only to suffer endless grievances after marriage. Three years ago, when her mother brought homemade bean paste to their home, she was despised; three years later, Qiao Yue caught Shen Peichuan currying favor with Bai Ruo, the factory director's daughter. He even used her eight thousand yuan of hard-earned savings meant for a storefront to buy Bai Ruo a piano, while mistreating her mother and younger brother who were preparing for exams. Determined to divorce, Qiao Yue obtained evidence with Lu Zheng's help and forced Bai Ruo to sign an IOUs. Following the divorce, she took her family to settle in a warehouse, took over an abandoned canteen to start a business, and used her mother's bean paste to overcome all hardships, making her business thrive. Facing her ex-husband's pleas for reconciliation, she remained unmoved, while Shen Peichuan lost his official job and met a miserable old age. Qiao Yue turned the canteen into a grand restaurant, and Lu Zheng proposed to her on New Year's Eve, harvesting the warm happiness of ordinary human life.
