Set against the backdrop of China's political reforms, it depicts the changes in family life and emotional entanglements experienced by several women in Beijing. It reflects the challenges posed by the era to bureaucratic values, the ideal of the good wife and mother, and the mindset of prioritizing status, while showcasing the characteristics and mature charm of Beijing women through these typical characters. Ten years ago, in a Beijing courtyard, Feng Xiao and his father were eagerly awaiting the visit of Feng Xiao's girlfriend, Fang Xiaoyu. Suddenly, Feng Xiao's college classmate, Peng Dongdong, appeared and announced: Fang Xiaoyu won't be coming, because she has fallen in love with me... The wedding between Fang Xiaoyu and the son of the deputy minister, Peng Dongdong, was grand and splendid, making the young girl from the courtyard, Chen Silin, exceptionally envious. Feng's father advised his son to accept their fate, as they are common folks. However, Feng Xiao showed up at the wedding and publicly declared: No, see you in ten years. As a result, Feng's father fell seriously ill out of anger. Ten years later, Feng Xiao returned from Shenzhen as a successful businessman, while Fang Xiaoyu and Peng Dongdong faced job losses. By chance, Fang Xiaoyu went to work at Feng Xiao's company, leading to her husband's dissatisfaction and jealousy, misunderstandings and resentments from her colleague Hong Die, jealousy and provocations from Chen Silin, and the meddling of the bored scholar Li Murong. This culminated in a fierce confrontation with her sister-in-law, Shen Dajie... A series of conflicts ensued, leaving Fang Xiaoyu in a precarious situation. However, she did not retreat in the face of difficulty; she actively embraced the challenges of the times and overcame numerous obstacles with tolerance, kindness, love, and perseverance, ultimately winning people's understanding and affection. The other women in the drama are also desperately seeking their own sense of belonging: Hong Die committed suicide; Shen Dajie began to awaken; Chen Silin pondered; what kind of person to be, and what path to take...
