After the death of the female protagonist Xie Wan's father, her distant relatives, led by the clan elder, covet the Xie family's vast fortune. Using the traditional notion that "women cannot inherit family businesses," they attempt to force Xie Wan to hand over her assets. Xie Wan makes a strong entrance, confronting the greedy clan members face-to-face, clearly declaring her status as the sole legal heir, and incisively exposing their vile scheme of "devouring the inheritance." When the clan members mock her, suggesting she should take in a live-in son-in-law instead, Xie Wan escalates the conflict to a new climax with an unexpected move.
