Twenty-year-old Sun Yulan is unwilling to let a bride price decide her life, and cannot bear to watch her eighteen-year-old younger sister, Sun Yumei, repeat her path. Gathering her courage, she takes her sister to an unfamiliar provincial capital. With little money and many difficulties ahead, the two sisters always support each other. Yulan works steadily at a restaurant while using her free time to learn tailoring; Yumei works hard to earn money and picks up her dream of studying again. Facing life's trials, they win trust through diligence, honesty, and persistence, and gain help from kind-hearted people. From barely making ends meet to seeing hope, the sisters take it step by step, striving for a better life with their own hands.
