After 26 years of a marriage governed by a strict 50-50 arrangement and devoid of a real partnership, Lin Weimin dies unexpectedly. At his funeral, Zhou Li, his mistress, makes a brazen entrance with her illegitimate son, Lin Yaozu. Armed with a will, they seize all 25 properties registered under Lin Weimin's name and join forces with his greedy relatives to humiliate his legal wife and daughter. Faced with her daughter Fang Xingwei's despair and fury, Fang Sulan, once the national women's Go champion, remains cold and composed as she signs an agreement relinquishing her inheritance. This drives a wedge between mother and daughter. Everyone assumes the legitimate wife is utterly spineless, unaware that these 26 years were nothing more than a carefully orchestrated trap set by Fang Sulan.
