Liang Zhengzheng never questioned her looks or her ability until her autistic son ruined everything. She lost her husband, her job and built up a huge debt. She decided to start a new life in Dongguan, southern China, where she found a new job and a man. She sent her son to a nursing home and lived together with her boss Hong Weixing. She was so eager to marry Hong that she would go to jail for him. Her son, however, had once again become the burden in her marriage. She gave up her son in despair, moved into a high-rise condo and gained a more descent job. Her guilt towards abandon her son was haunting her until she came up with the courage to turn herself in to the police.
