Yang Liuya is sold by her own parents to marry into a family as a bride meant to bring good fortune. Before the wedding, she hears that her future husband is seriously ill and bedridden, while the servants in the household each have their own hidden agendas. She sells rabbits to save money and seeks out her older sisters to gather information, determined to secure a way out for herself. Her sisters are also struggling, but some secretly slip her money, others pray for her safety, and one advises her to run if anyone bullies her. Armed with this little bit of confidence, Liuya puts on an old red wedding dress and enters the Wang household. This marriage arranged by others is one she intends to make her own. Together with her frail husband, she will protect the family estate, earn a living, and build a life on her own terms.
