Tô Tinh Dạ had just discovered her true identity and was shocked to hear her worthless husband suggest a fake divorce, giving her ten coins to take care of their child and wait for his return. He promised to find them after he finished his job and bring them back to... live a happy life with him. However, Tô Tinh Dạ was disgusted by his plans to come back and swoop in to take their son back after failing to have a son himself and neglecting their daughter.

Quickly grabbing the divorce papers, Tô Tinh Dạ decided to leave with her two kids and visit Thẩm Khai Dược, a widower who was also looking for a mother for his own children. He was working on the border, but would return home soon to bring his family to settle in a new unit. Tô Tinh Dạs former husband had neglected their children, with their son being over indulged and their daughter suffering beatings. Tô Tinh Dạ wanted to find a new home for her children and start over with Thẩm Khai Dược. So, even though he was taking them to a cold, desolate place where even snow was hard to come by, the two newcomers braved the harsh conditions and slowly found a way to live together.

People talked about Tô Tinh Dạ behind her back, mocking her delicate demeanor and saying that her children would not survive in such a tough, unforgiving region. But Tô Tinh Dạ ignored them and focused on caring for her children. During the summer, they dug ginseng, and in winter, they fished on ice and ate pork noodles and mushroom stew to replenish their nutrition. The children even argued about their weights and asked if their little sister was too chubby. Tô Tinh Dạ told them not to worry and to let their sister be the princess of the family. As Thẩm Khai Dược rose through the ranks, their family also saw improvements, as they were now able to afford everything they needed. Tô Tinh Dạ felt younger every day.

One day, their daughter asked Tô Tinh Dạ if she hated their father, but she just laughed and responded, "Were just living day by day like your father once suggested." Looking at her husbands tender expression, Tô Tinh Dạ fought back laughter and added, "Mom feels like we can continue living day by day like this."
