At 18 years old, with just a basket of sweet potatoes, she marries the wrong man. Her husband gambles, cheats on her, and cruelly abandons her and their daughter. Her jealous neighbors gossip, while others mock her. She is bullied, looked down upon, blamed, and insulted. But she refuses to fall or settle for less. With her own two hands, she farms the land and sells vegetables, making her way from Zhoujia Village to the county town. She raises her two daughters alone, climbs out of the mud, and becomes her own guiding light.
