Severely allergic to chives, pregnant Ye Mian is forced by her controlling mother-in-law, Liu Fengying, to eat dumplings secretly stuffed with chives. After forcing them down to avoid being called "dramatic," Ye Mian suffers a near-fatal anaphylactic shock, nearly losing her baby. Witnessing his wife's ordeal, her husband, He Fan, finally snaps, saving the evidence and filing for a restraining order against his mother.
Panicked, Liu destroys evidence, stages a suicide threat, and mobilizes relatives to force Ye Mian into signing a settlement, causing Ye Mian a threatened miscarriage. Backed by her husband, Ye Mian exposes the truth to the police. Cornered by lab reports and video proof, Liu admits she "just wanted to test her" and receives a permanent restraining order. After safely giving birth, Ye Mian permanently cuts ties, learning that no one’s approval is worth risking her life for.
