He Lin was originally a simple and lovely girl from Beijing. With superior family background, she happily spent her days without a care in the world, until she fell in love with Wang Chuanzhi. Chuanzhi came from a poor rural family of five children. He was tall, handsome, reliable, and enterprising - the embodiment of He Lin's dream come true. Chuanzhi moved into the three-story building that He Lin's parents had given their daughter as a dowry, and their happy life seemed to stretch endlessly into the future, until - mother-in-law arrived...
And worse still, the bickering elder sister-in-law who resented her arrival, the eldest brother-in-law who had an affair shortly after moving to the city to avoid family planning policies, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the mother-in-law, and even distant relatives all came trailing behind mother-in-law...
The war between roses and carnations has just begun! The man caught in the middle is nothing but cannon fodder.
She and she, fighting over one man; she and she, competing for one family. Bamboo gate against wooden door, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are born adversaries. Thus, some get divorced, others jump off buildings. Cold words continue to ring in the ears: those who can let go will leave, those who can't will die, women will always make things difficult for other women.
Why does it always take until the last moment to realize: marriage isn't just about two people...
