Plot Summary:

Liu Ai, a top‑notch saleswoman striving to make it in the city, and her husband Yang Guang, a designer, share a simple, down-to-earth dream: earn enough, have a baby, and move into a new home. But at year’s end, their demanding boss reneges on his promise. Fuming with anger, Liu Ai quits; watching her plans fall apart and seeing her husband hit a career slump, she feels utterly defeated—so much so that she nearly gives up. With encouragement from her husband and friends, they band together to find solutions and kick those obstacles out of their way. Determined to turn things around, Liu Ai starts fresh at a small company, steadily proving her worth until she earns the well‑deserved title of “Sales Queen.” She also delivers a sharp rebuke to her former boss, fulfilling every goal she and Yang Guang set out to achieve—and securing a happy future side by side.
