She marries into the wealthy Zhang family and is constantly looked down on by her mother-in-law and brother-in-law's wife (Guo Ailin, Lina Yang) due to her background. Although she wins her father-in-law's favour, she has to contend with her sister-in-law's (Zhang WenSi, Yang LiBin) jealousy after giving birth to two sons. She later saves the company from bankruptcy and reunites the Zhang family despite the many difficulties she faces.
