When Li Yan was six months pregnant, her mother died unexpectedly. Her mother's dying wish was for the pregnant Li Yan to get a divorce. While Li Yan was grieving, her husband Qin Yifan and her mother-in-law Zhao Cui'e's family showed their true colors, ordering her around and demanding that Li Yan, six months pregnant, cook for them—they even cooked the last batch of dumplings Li Yan's mother had made before she died. Li Yan demanded a divorce, but Qin Yifan refused, and her mother-in-law Zhao Cui'e even resorted to physical violence. To repay a loan shark debt, Qin Yifan's family pressured Li Yan to transfer the house to them. Li Yan pretended to agree, then gathered evidence through audio and video recordings, determined to sue Zhao Cui'e and her family. Qin Yifan lost his job and wanted revenge on Li Yan, but in the end he was taken away by the police and imprisoned.
