Synopsis

Successful career woman Zheng Xueer has achieved great success but has never had plans to get married.

However, when her mother falls seriously ill, Zheng Xueer decides to lower her standards for choosing a partner in order to give her mother peace of mind and quickly find an honest and stable person to marry and have children with.

Through the introduction of her best friend, Mili, she meets Song Haotian and they have a flash marriage. Soon after, Zheng Xueer's mother passes away, leaving Zheng Xueer alone and relying on her small family for happiness.

After marriage, due to health reasons, Zheng Xueer is unable to conceive, which greatly displeases her mother-in-law. Zheng Xueer finally succeeds in getting pregnant through IVF (in vitro fertilization), but her mother-in-law's attitude towards her remains unchanged.

Her husband, Song Haotian, is a mama's boy who, although he pleases Zheng Xueer to her face, does not truly cherish his wife. Outside their marriage, Song Haotian engages in extramarital affairs with Zheng Xueer's friend, Mili, and together they plan to seize Zheng Xueer's assets.

Sharp-witted Zheng Xueer senses something is amiss with her husband and secretly investigates, uncovering his affair and plans.

At first, Zheng Xueer feels disheartened and only intends to separate amicably, but when she discovers that her mother's death is also related to her husband, Song Haotian, a fire of revenge ignites within her, and she begins her plan for revenge.
