Lin Wan is the chairwoman of a top automobile group. To inspect the operations of one of its subsidiaries, she conceals her identity and disguises herself as a frontline sales representative. Lin Wan comes from a family that favors sons over daughters. Her father, Lin Jianguo, and mother, Zhang Guilan, relentlessly favor their adopted son, Lin Qiang. They combine six million yuan from the demolition compensation for their hometown house with the retirement money Lin Wan had secretly contributed, then give the entire sum to Lin Qiang and his fiancée, Zhao Qianqian. On New Year's Eve, a heated argument erupts between Lin Wan and her parents, ending in a complete break. Lin Jianguo's liver cancer worsens because of his excessive drinking, while Lin Qiang takes the money meant to save his life and squanders it. After repeated disappointments and heartbreak, Lin Wan launches her counterattack. In the end, she settles the disputes over the family property, purges corrupt employees from the workplace, draws a clear boundary with her birth family, and lives life on her own terms.
