Zhang Guizhi dies a tragic death in a woodshed, only to be reborn in middle age before the tragedy ever happens. In her previous life, she spent half her life working tirelessly for others, only to end up with nothing and meet a miserable end. Given a second chance at life, she is determined to protect her biological daughter, Li Niantang. No longer willing to endure mistreatment or back down, she confronts the family's tangled conflicts and decisively ends her broken marriage. Giving up her secure job, she makes a living with her family's traditional braised-food recipes and does everything she can to support her daughter's education. Facing one crisis after another, she remains bold and resilient, breaks through every obstacle, and begins a brand-new life with her daughter.
