Lin He marries far away two thousand li against her parents' opposition. On the very first day she enters the door, her mother-in-law sets rules for her and neighbors watch the joke. Everyone thinks this 'foreign daughter-in-law' is easy to bully. But she refuses to accept her fate—earning her own money, growing mushrooms, leading the whole family to get rich, and taking three years to transform from a 'punching bag' to the pillar of the household. Her mother-in-law goes from nitpicking everywhere to protecting her even more than her own mother, and the whole village goes from looking down on her to following her lead. The confidence of marrying far away is not marrying the right person, but standing firmly on one's own.
