Su Qing owns her own storefront. Her relatives came knocking, wanting to rent it cheaply to open a shop while using family ties to emotionally blackmail her. Her cousin-aunt's family forcefully occupied it, causing chaos, demanding endlessly, and trying to take advantage for free. Facing mounting pressure and unreasonable scenes made by elder relatives, Su Qing refused to back down or compromise any further, firmly denying them the lease. She drew clear boundaries between kinship and business interests, stood firm against gossip and pressure, reclaimed control of her shop, and started her own booming business. Addressing the real-world headache of relatives borrowing money and property, this drama tells the story of a female lead breaking free from the shackles of family obligations and bravely defending her rights.
