Su Xinxin, betrayed by her in‑laws and estranged from her daughter in her past life, jumps off a bridge. She is reborn when news of Fu Jianguo’s death arrives. Vowing to change her fate, she foils the plot forcing her to wed her brother‑in‑law, secures the pension and separates from the family. She moves to an old cottage with her daughter Fu Anning. Working as the village doctor, she makes rat repellent to end the plague and runs an egg cake workshop to employ local women. Fu Jianguo, alive and with his memory restored, protects them secretly. He returns to stop the Fu family’s robbery and atones through hard work. Su Xinxin eases her wariness, sets five rules to test him, and rebuilds their marriage.
