United Hearts, Breaking the Cage
Seven months pregnant, Xu Zhixia accidentally discovers that her husband, Jiang Xu, is cheating on her, uncovering a secret that has been buried for years. Her father-in-law, Jiang Min, has also been unfaithful during his marriage and even brings his illegitimate daughter, Tang Zhining, home to live with them. Zhao Xiuru has spent decades working tirelessly for her family, only to be treated by her husband as a free housekeeper. While kindly tidying Tang Zhining's room, Zhao Xiuru steps on a piece of fruit peel and suffers a fall that leaves her with a fracture. Yet her husband and son coldly shirk responsibility and refuse to take her to the hospital. Having finally seen through the heartlessness and hypocrisy of the family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces to gather comprehensive evidence of infidelity, illegal transfers of marital assets, and disciplinary violations. With the help of lawyers, disciplinary inspection authorities, and the courts, they legally defend their rights, successfully divorce their husbands, and recover the jointly owned property that was unlawfully taken from them.

Xu Zhixia yang sedang hamil tujuh bulan secara tidak sengaja mengetahui perselingkuhan suaminya, Jiang Xu, dan sebuah rahasia yang telah lama tersembunyi pun terungkap. Ayah mertuanya, Jiang Min, juga berselingkuh selama pernikahannya dan bahkan membawa pulang putri di luar nikahnya, Tang Zhining, untuk tinggal bersama mereka. Selama puluhan tahun, Zhao Xiuru telah bekerja keras dan mengorbankan diri demi keluarga, tetapi suaminya hanya menganggapnya sebagai pembantu rumah tangga gratis. Saat dengan tulus membereskan kamar Tang Zhining, Zhao Xiuru menginjak kulit buah, terpeleset, dan mengalami patah tulang. Namun, suami dan putranya justru bersikap dingin, saling melempar tanggung jawab, dan menolak membawanya ke rumah sakit. Setelah benar-benar menyadari betapa tidak berperasaan dan munafiknya keluarga tersebut, ibu mertua dan menantu perempuan itu bersatu untuk mengumpulkan seluruh bukti perselingkuhan, pengalihan harta bersama selama pernikahan, serta pelanggaran disiplin. Dengan bantuan pengacara, badan pemeriksa disiplin, dan pengadilan, mereka memperjuangkan hak secara hukum, berhasil bercerai, dan mendapatkan kembali harta bersama yang telah dirampas.
