Shen Yulan, fifty-two years old, has devoted half her life to supporting her son’s family, only to be schemed against and driven out by her son and daughter-in-law. After unexpectedly inheriting her elder sister’s estate, she wakes up. No longer willing to be the family’s unpaid caregiver, she breaks free from the shackles of kinship, buys a home of her own, and embarks on a free and unconstrained old age.
