Forty-six-year-old Lin Xiulan, to preserve her husband Gao Zhiqiang's self-esteem twenty-two years ago, gave up her maternal family's business. On their wedding anniversary, Gao Zhiqiang actually brought his lover Tang Lijuan and her son home, turning the family dinner into a boy's birthday banquet. The boy was sent to the hospital after a car accident, and Lin Xiulan saw the surgical consent form, only to realize that this was actually her husband's illegitimate child whom he had hidden for seventeen years. Her returned older brother Lin Zheng ran into his sister being humiliated and breaking down, resolving to stand up for her, but Lin Xiulan refused, wanting to personally settle all the debts owed to her.
