Qin Jiandong and Tang Yali are a loving couple with a daughter, Qin Xiaoxiao, and they live a comfortable life. Tang Yali accidentally sees her sister-in-law Qin Guilan's luxurious lifestyle, which leads her into a pyramid scheme, unknowingly selling toxic milk powder to her friend Wu Ruoxi. As a result, Wu Ruoxi's son Youyou becomes disabled. When Qin Guilan's scheme is exposed, she suddenly commits suicide, and Tang Yali is imprisoned for pyramid scheme crimes. Wu Ruoxi harbors deep resentment towards Tang Yali, abandoning her husband and child, and descends into a luxurious life with wealthy men. In order to ensure their daughter's healthy growth, Qin Jiandong divorces Tang Yali. Tang Yali, separated from her family, suffers in prison, experiencing crises such as suicide and escape. Eventually, she awakens and actively seeks rehabilitation, receiving leniency from the government. Seven years later, Tang Yali is released from prison, determined to start anew, hoping to find her daughter, help Youyou recover, and seek revenge on Jiang Han, the mastermind behind the pyramid scheme. During Tang Yali's imprisonment, Zhang Mei carefully takes care of Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Jiandong's life, and the father and daughter have accepted Zhang Mei. When Tang Yali seeks to find her daughter, Qin Jiandong strongly obstructs her and tries every means to dismiss her. Tang Yali and her daughter are repeatedly close yet unable to recognize each other, which causes great pain. Upon learning that her mother is a criminal, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly feels inferior and resistant, unwilling to accept her biological mother. She deliberately makes things difficult for Tang Yali, causing her more sorrow. Qin Xiaoxiao even encourages Zhang Mei to marry her father to retaliate against her mother. Tang Yali, not wanting to argue with her daughter, secretly helps her while urging Qin Jiandong to establish a family with Zhang Mei for their daughter's stable living environment. After Qin Jiandong is injured, Tang Yali takes the initiative to care for him and eventually earns his forgiveness, as well as Zhang Mei's understanding. Later, when Qin Xiaoxiao faces kidnapping danger, Tang Yali steps forward. To protect Tang Yali, Qin Xiaoxiao is seriously injured. Despite her weakened condition, Tang Yali resolutely donates bone marrow to her daughter. After treatment, Qin Xiaoxiao recovers her health, feeling the deep maternal bond, and actively promotes reconciliation between her parents. Zhang Mei wisely goes to Australia, and Qin Jiandong hopes for Tang Yali to return home soon. Tang Yali states that she has two wishes remaining. In the process of reaching out to Youyou, Tang Yali faces numerous challenges, as Youyou's father Wang Shanqiu refuses to accept her, and his grandfather Wang Laohan is unwilling to forgive her. Moreover, Youyou's strong resistance to Tang Yali leaves her at a loss. After Wang Laohan is injured and loses his memory while trying to kidnap Youyou, Tang Yali takes meticulous care of him and fully supports and trains Youyou, significantly improving his physical disabilities, transforming him from a disabled child into a healthy student. At last, Tang Yali realizes her wish for redemption from prison. Her actions also earn forgiveness from Wang Shanqiu's family. As they spend time together, Wang Shanqiu quietly falls in love with Tang Yali. Tang Yali remains determined to seek revenge on Qin Guilan and clear her name, tirelessly searching for Jiang Han's whereabouts. By chance, she finds evidence of Jiang Han committing another crime. Jiang Han retaliates crazily and kidnaps Qin Xiaoxiao. To save her daughter, Tang Yali bravely enters the abandoned concrete factory where Jiang Han is holding Qin Xiaoxiao. The police shoot Jiang Han dead on the spot, rescuing Tang Yali and Qin Xiaoxiao and quickly sending them to the hospital. The doctor informs Tang Yali that, apart from her stab wounds, Qin Xiaoxiao also suffers from severe leukemia. Upon learning this, Tang Yali risks her weakened body to find ways to help her daughter, deeply moving Qin Jiandong. With the mediation of Wang Shanqiu, Qin Xiaoxiao, and their relatives, Tang Yali finally returns to her home. Tang Yali also actively starts a business with her prison mates, beginning from the dirty and tiring job of a restroom cleaner, working diligently, and gradually becoming a labor model of the city. She not only completes her redemption but also realizes her life's value. Qin Jiandong and Qin Xiaoxiao accept Tang Yali again, allowing the family to reunite. Tang Yali deeply feels: the road home is not far, it is right beneath her feet.
