Just as her grandson gets into college, her mother-in-law, who has pretended to be ill for eighteen years, immediately drives away the grandmother who raised her grandson and moves in to claim a place to be cared for in her old age. Her husband even demands that Xu Wantang serve his mother devotedly. But Xu Wantang holds the property deed to the home she owned before marriage and refuses to put up with it any longer. She sells the house, divorces her husband, and presents all the evidence, refusing to shoulder the responsibilities her in-laws are trying to evade. No longer willing to compromise, Xu Wantang sells her premarital property, fights back with evidence, and breaks free from a twisted marriage and emotional blackmail.
