At the Mid-Autumn family dinner, her husband Xing Zhefan gives bonuses to the whole family—except Ren Yuzhen, a full-time homemaker, who receives only a one-cent “Care Award,” dismissing years of her unpaid labor at home. Deeply shaken, Ren Yuzhen decides to end her life as a housewife and return to the workplace. Faced with her in-laws’ lack of understanding and endless family entanglements, she holds her boundaries and, with her professional ability, wins a major business project. Through repeated struggles between family and career, Ren Yuzhen grows into herself, clarifies the boundaries of kinship and marriage, protects her daughter, and lives life on her own terms.
