Qin Jian Dong and Tang Ya Li are a loving couple with a daughter, Qin Xiao Xiao, living a moderately prosperous life. Tang Ya Li accidentally sees the luxurious life of her sister-in-law Qin Gui Lan, who leads her into a pyramid scheme, and unknowingly sells toxic milk powder to her friend Wu Ruo Xi. As a result, Wu Ruo Xi’s son You You is disabled. When Qin Gui Lan's fraudulent activities are exposed, she suddenly commits suicide, and Tang Ya Li is imprisoned for her involvement in the pyramid scheme. Wu Ruo Xi holds deep resentment against Tang Ya Li, abandoning her husband and child to live a life of luxury with wealthy men. For the sake of his daughter's healthy growth, Qin Jian Dong divorces Tang Ya Li. Tang Ya Li, now separated from her family, struggles with anguish in prison; after experiencing suicide attempts and prison breaks, she wakes up and actively reforms, eventually gaining leniency from the government. Seven years later, Tang Ya Li is released, vowing to start anew, hoping to find her daughter, help You You regain health, and seek revenge on the pyramid scheme leader Jiang Han for her past grievances. During Tang Ya Li’s imprisonment, Zhang Mei takes care of Qin Xiao Xiao and Qin Jian Dong’s life, and the father-daughter duo accepts her. When Tang Ya Li comes to find her daughter, she is fiercely obstructed by Qin Jian Dong, who finds ways to brush her off. Tang Ya Li and her daughter are close yet unable to recognize each other, causing great pain. Upon learning her mother is a criminal, Qin Xiao Xiao suddenly feels inferior and resistant, unwilling to accept her biological mother; she deliberately torments Tang Ya Li, making her even more sorrowful. Qin Xiao Xiao even encourages Zhang Mei to marry her father as a means of revenge against her mother. Tang Ya Li does not hold this against her daughter; instead, she quietly helps her and urges Qin Jian Dong to start a family with Zhang Mei for a stable life for her daughter. After Qin Jian Dong is injured, Tang Ya Li provides care and attention, finally earning her ex-husband's forgiveness and Zhang Mei's understanding. Later, when Qin Xiao Xiao faces kidnapping danger, Tang Ya Li steps up. To protect Tang Ya Li, Qin Xiao Xiao suffers serious injuries. Despite her weakened condition, Tang Ya Li resolutely donates her bone marrow to her daughter. After treatment, Qin Xiao Xiao regains her health, feeling the deep bond between mother and daughter, and actively promotes reconciliation between her parents. Zhang Mei wisely decides to go to Australia, while Qin Jian Dong hopes that Tang Ya Li will return home soon. Tang Ya Li states that she still has two wishes. While trying to reach out to You You, she encounters numerous obstacles as You You's father Wang Shan Qiu refuses to accept her, and his grandfather Wang Lao Han is unwilling to forgive Tang Ya Li, while You You expresses strong resistance towards her. After Wang Lao Han suffers injuries and amnesia while trying to rescue You You, Tang Ya Li takes meticulous care of him and dedicates herself to tutoring and training You You, significantly improving You You's physical disabilities. You You transforms from a disabled child into a healthy student, allowing Tang Ya Li to fulfill her desire for redemption while in prison. Her actions also earn forgiveness from Wang Shan Qiu's family. Over time, Wang Shan Qiu secretly falls in love with Tang Ya Li. Tang Ya Li remains fixated on avenging Qin Gui Lan and clearing her own name, making every effort to find information on the pyramid scheme leader Jiang Han. By chance, she discovers evidence of Jiang Han's further criminal activities. Jiang Han retaliates violently and kidnaps Qin Xiao Xiao. To save her daughter, Tang Ya Li ventures alone into the abandoned cement factory where Jiang Han is holding Qin Xiao Xiao. The police kill Jiang Han on the spot, rescuing Tang Ya Li and Qin Xiao Xiao, and quickly transport them to the hospital. The doctor informs Tang Ya Li that, in addition to her stab wounds, Qin Xiao Xiao is also suffering from severe leukemia. Upon learning this, Tang Ya Li risks her frail health to find ways to save her daughter, deeply moving Qin Jian Dong. With the encouragement of Wang Shan Qiu and Qin Xiao Xiao, as well as their family, Tang Ya Li finally returns to her own home. Tang Ya Li goes on to actively start a business with her prison friends, beginning as a sanitation worker in the dirtiest and most strenuous job, diligently working her way up to become a model worker in the city. She not only completes her redemption but also realizes her life's value. Qin Jian Dong and Qin Xiao Xiao have once again accepted Tang Ya Li, allowing the family to reunite. Tang Ya Li deeply feels that the road home is not far away, but right beneath her feet.
