Lin Yuqing has long been treated like a free maid by her husband, Zhou Kai, her mother-in-law, and her sister-in-law, Zhou Tingting. During the seven days of the Lunar New Year holiday, they exploit and mistreat her without restraint. She works tirelessly day and night, yet no one appreciates her efforts. Secretly, she records their behavior and collects evidence. On the eighth day of the New Year, Lin Yuqing refuses to cook, confronts the family, and officially files for divorce. The Zhou family repeatedly threatens her, begs for mercy, and tries to evade responsibility, but she refuses to give in. Ultimately, the court rules in Lin Yuqing's favor, awarding her compensation. She buys a home outright, finds a job, brings her mother to live with her, and completely leaves her past behind to begin an independent and free new life.
