Plot
A story about Shanghai citizens is told from the perspective of Feng Xiao Qin and Gu Qing Yu, two sisters-in-law who work through their differences to grow closer in the quagmire of life.
It has been ten years since Feng Xiao Qin came to the Gu family while pregnant with a child to become their new daughter-in-law. The family's eldest daughter, Gu Qing Yu, has always been wary of her and believes that Feng Xiao Qin has "ambition" written all over her face. Feng Xiao Qin urges her husband, Gu Lei, to borrow money from his twin sister Gu Qing Yu so they can buy a house. Gu Qing Yu cleverly evades the request by revealing her plan to buy a luxury house.
After Gu Lei dies unexpectedly, the conflicts between the two sisters-in-law continue to escalate. As a single mom, Feng Xiao Qin is desperate, yet the trials that she faces allow her to realize her true potential. Meanwhile, Gu Qing Yu undergoes many changes that reshape her perception towards life. From relentless confrontation to mutual understanding, the two women will bear the burdens of the family together no matter how hard the future is.
