Breaking Free from the Zhou Family's Cage, I Have My Own Everyday Joys
Lin Yuqing has long been treated like a free maid by her husband, Zhou Kai, her mother-in-law, and her sister-in-law, Zhou Tingting. During the seven days of the Lunar New Year holiday, they exploit and mistreat her without restraint. She works tirelessly day and night, yet no one appreciates her efforts. Secretly, she records their behavior and collects evidence. On the eighth day of the New Year, Lin Yuqing refuses to cook, confronts the family, and officially files for divorce. The Zhou family repeatedly threatens her, begs for mercy, and tries to evade responsibility, but she refuses to give in. Ultimately, the court rules in Lin Yuqing's favor, awarding her compensation. She buys a home outright, finds a job, brings her mother to live with her, and completely leaves her past behind to begin an independent and free new life.

Matagal nang itinuturing si Lin Yuqing na libreng katulong ng kanyang asawang si Zhou Kai, ng kanyang biyenan, at ng hipag niyang si Zhou Tingting. Sa loob ng pitong araw ng pagdiriwang ng Bagong Taon ng mga Tsino, walang tigil siyang inuutusan at pinagmamalupitan. Maghapon at magdamag siyang nagtatrabaho, ngunit walang sinumang nakakaunawa sa kanya. Palihim siyang nagre-record at nag-iipon ng ebidensya. Sa ikawalong araw ng Bagong Taon, tumanggi si Lin Yuqing na magluto, hinarap nang direkta ang pamilya Zhou, at pormal na nagsampa ng kaso para sa diborsyo. Paulit-ulit siyang tinakot, nilambing, at sinubukang lokohin ng pamilya Zhou upang makaiwas sa pananagutan, ngunit hindi siya nagpaawat. Sa huli, nagpasya ang korte na panalo si Lin Yuqing at ginawaran siya ng kabayaran. Bumili siya ng bahay nang buo ang bayad, nakahanap ng trabaho, isinama ang kanyang ina upang manirahan kasama niya, at tuluyang iniwan ang nakaraan upang simulan ang isang malaya at nagsasariling bagong buhay.
