Ever since she left girls' high school, Yangmi has worn herself out for her family, paying for her younger siblings' education and keeping the household going. Now, single and no longer young, she starts a small, cheerful rebellion: half her salary goes on her hair and skin, she buys clothes and expensive cosmetics at department stores, and she diets. Her romance shifts the weight in the house, and the relatives who had stood on her back with all their might quietly climb down and look away.
