Wang Lingfen is the "Iron Lady" in everyone's eyes—a senior executive, the family breadwinner, and the one who always picks up the pieces. But after her deadbeat husband, Lin Shizhao, dies in a drunk-driving accident, she becomes a widow and, in everyone's eyes, an easy target. Her mother-in-law, Tang Xilan, blocks the entrance to the crematorium and demands that every cent of the compensation money be transferred to her account. Her daughter, Lin Beibei, arrives with her fiancé's family to pressure her into buying a home for the newlyweds. Even her own mother joins forces with her three brothers to force her to pour money into her family's bottomless pit. Before she can even recover from the pain of losing her husband, the attacks from those closest to her drive her to the brink.
