Office worker Lin Xiaoman and her best friend Su Xiaotang accidentally transmigrate to a northern village in 1978—Xiaoman becomes a new daughter-in-law treated as a "child-bearing tool" by her husband's family, while mother-in-law Wang Guizhi is a "old ox" who's endured 40 years of father-in-law's cold violence and had her dowry sold to pay his gambling debts; Xiaotang's even worse, reborn as an educated youth threatened by her husband with a "city return quota". Three women trapped by patriarchy go from "mutual dislike" to "alliance": Xiaoman uses modern legal knowledge to gather evidence of father-in-law's gambling debts for Guizhi, Xiaotang uses her educated youth background to make hand embroidery for travel funds. But when father-in-law finds out, he tries to sell Guizhi to a village bachelor for money! At the critical moment, they flee to the county town with their savings, only to be chased by father-in-law and his men—this "counterattack of three women" is about seizing their fate back into their own hands!
