Before the wedding, Shen Qingshan accidentally learns that his fiancée has other motives, plotting for a house and a job rather than true love. He decisively calls off the marriage and marries Zhou Xiulan, who treats him with sincerity. Together, they legally reclaim their betrothal gifts, work hard in business, take charge of a brick kiln, start a sewing group, and become well-known wealthy households far and near. Facing deception and gossip, he does not entangle or back down, making a good life with his own hands.
