Reborn on the day after her wedding in 1985, Wang Guifang vows to rewrite her tragic fate from her previous life, when her husband's family drained her of everything before she died miserably in a snowstorm. She immediately turns against them and demands to split the household. She would rather leave with nothing and live in a dilapidated house than endure their abuse. Armed with her family's ancestral braised-meat recipe, she starts out slaughtering pigs and selling meat at a roadside stall at the village entrance. She stands up to her cruel mother-in-law, puts her troublesome brother-in-law in his place, and takes on local thugs and unscrupulous merchants. Step by step, she opens a cooked-food shop, builds a food factory, and establishes a livestock-farming cooperative. Within just two years, she becomes a famous ten-thousand-yuan household in the surrounding area, helps the entire township prosper, and finally lives a brilliant life on her own terms.
