You Make Me Kowtow, But I Insist on Living Standing
Su Qingmiao lost her parents at an early age and was raised by her eldest maternal aunt. Bold, fiery, and decisive, she sets five strict standards when looking for a husband and eventually chooses the honest and down-to-earth Lin Maosheng. After marriage, she refuses to back down in the face of her biased and spiteful mother-in-law, her scheming sister-in-law, and her lazy, freeloading brother-in-law. She stands up for her husband's dignity and leads the family to separate households, grow vegetables, and repay their debts. Through her intelligence and perseverance, she transforms barren, rocky land into a vegetable garden and unites a fragmented family into a team. From a so-called 'difficult daughter-in-law' who is constantly criticized to a respected head of the household, Qingmiao proves through her actions that a good life is built through hard work, not endured through silent suffering.

Maagang nawalan ng mga magulang si Su Qingmiao at pinalaki siya ng kanyang nakatatandang tiyahin sa ina. Matapang, prangka, at determinado, nagtakda siya ng limang pamantayan sa paghahanap ng mapapangasawa at sa huli ay pinili si Lin Maosheng, isang tapat at simpleng lalaki. Pagkatapos nilang magpakasal, hinarap niya ang biyenang inang mapanigan at malupit, ang hipag na mahilig maghanap ng gulo, at ang bayaw na tamad at puro kain lamang ang alam. Ngunit hindi kailanman nagpadaig si Qingmiao. Ipinaglaban niya ang dignidad ng kanyang asawa at pinamunuan ang buong pamilya sa paghihiwalay ng kanilang mga sambahayan, pagtatanim ng gulay, at pagbabayad ng mga utang. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang talino at katatagan, ginawa niyang taniman ng gulay ang mabatong lupain at pinag-isa ang pamilyang dating watak-watak. Mula sa isang manugang na tinatawag na masungit at palaging pinupuna, naging isang pinuno siya ng tahanan na iginagalang ng lahat. Pinatunayan ni Qingmiao na ang magandang buhay ay pinaghihirapan at binubuo, hindi basta tinitiis.
