After her parents' accidental death, Lin Wanzhao, the only legitimate daughter of the Lin family, becomes a helpless “prey” in the clan's eyes. The elders, citing “women cannot manage family affairs,” try to seize her dowry and farmland, even plotting to force her into a marriage with a 50-year-old wealthy merchant for the betrothal gift. Just when everyone thinks she will submit, Lin Wanzhao pulls out an ancestral manuscript hidden by her parents: a century ago, the first head of the Lin family had a secret rule—“If a woman is capable, she can establish her own household and be included in the genealogy!” She reveals the truth the clan has concealed, unites the oppressed aunts and sisters in the clan to rewrite the genealogy, and officially records all women's names. While keeping her property, she also gives a “status” to all neglected women in the clan. Facing the furious elders, she smiles and says: “What the genealogy should record is not just the family line, but the living.”
