In the 1980s, Chen Dongmei, the second daughter of the Chen family in Chen Village, was neglected and mistreated by her family since childhood, forced to do the heaviest chores and eat the worst scraps. Her elder sister, Chen Yumei, was engaged to Jiang Wenhao from a neighboring village, but eloped to the south for work right before the wedding. To save face and avoid returning the betrothal gift, her mother Wang Xiuzhen forced Chen Dongmei to marry in her sister's place. Jiang Wenhao was known throughout the surrounding villages as a ruthless tough guy, yet he doted on his new bride Chen Dongmei in every way—patiently teaching her how to enjoy being cared for, taking her into town to buy new clothes, fiercely defending her and beating up local thugs at a restaurant, and giving her unwavering support when returning to her family home. From an abused scapegoat deemed a burden, Chen Dongmei was gradually cherished as the Jiang family's most precious treasure.
