On the day of her engagement, Lin Xiuhe is publicly dumped by her fiancé. The Wang family then takes away her family's three mu of fertile farmland in exchange for a foul-smelling, stagnant ditch. The entire village waits to see her fail to deliver the grain tax and get driven out. But nobody knows that among the discarded, stinking freshwater mussels, Lin Xiuhe has discovered natural pearls!

When her former fiancé comes begging to get back together, Lin Xiuhe coldly tells him, "You're not worthy."
