Returning to her maiden home brings no refuge either. In the depth of desperation, the honest carpenter Shen Yanzhou extends a helping hand to her. Su Wanqing picks up her embroidery skills again to take on work and make a living, supporting her life stitch by stitch. Yet, the entanglements of her ex-husband's family, gossip from bystanders, and covert traps set by rivals follow one after another. While nurturing her children, she builds her career. Having weathered the storm, can she completely break free from the past and guard her own secure happiness?
