Lu Jingchen, CEO of Yanyu Group, watches his pregnant wife Lin Zhixia get pushed to the ground by his own mother. After seven years of silence and a divorce ultimatum, he finally fights back—cutting off her power and uncovering her hidden secrets: a seven-year “tonic soup” and a mysterious nephew she protects at all costs. As the truth unfolds, his revenge in the name of love begins.
Madam Lu publicly berates her daughter-in-law for failing to conceive, only to have the woman rushed to the hospital with bleeding—revealing she’s actually pregnant. While Mr. Lu is negotiating an 80-million food supply deal, a secret call from Uncle Wang informs him of his wife’s emergency and his mother’s order to hide the truth. Furious, Lu drops everything to rush to her side, setting the stage for a fierce family clash.
Lu Jingshen cancels all schedules and rushes back to Shanghai urgently, as his wife Zhixia's unborn child is in critical danger. Regretful for forcing her to endure his mother's mistreatment before, he vows to fiercely defend her and the child against any harm.
Bringing her checkup report and his favorite truffle risotto, the wife goes to see her husband, only to be stopped and pushed by Zhao Zixuan, leaving her with abdominal pain. Her mother-in-law watches coldly. As the fetus is at risk, the mother-in-law forces her to sign divorce papers—until her husband returns and firmly stands by her.
Lu Jingshen stands firmly by his pregnant wife as he confronts his mother and Zhang Yuwei. He accuses them of assaulting his wife in public, forcing her to leave the Lu family and terminate her pregnancy. With solid evidence, he threatens to call the police, terminate joint business projects, and orders his mother to stay out of all company and family affairs.
Having endured his mother's humiliation toward pregnant wife Zixuan for seven years, Jinshen finally snaps—banning his mom and distant nephew from the ward. He declares he'll fight for Zixuan, while the doctor warns she mustn't be agitated again.
Mr. Lu confronts security staff after learning they ignored his pregnant wife being pushed on Old Madam's orders, with cameras under her arranged maintenance. He fires on-duty guards and the chief, then orders immediate reclaim of Old Madam's honorary chairman office, showing his fierce stance to protect his wife.
As Yanyu's co-founder, the mother creates a fuss after her access card is deactivated and office cleared. She confronts her son Lu Jingshen, the company chairman, who upholds corporate rules over family bonds and orders her escorted out without a prior appointment.
As tensions escalate, it's revealed Jingshen's mother has a backup plan backed by Uncle Liu Dehai and the Zhang family. Amid the looming family conflict, a heartfelt promise is made to Jingshen: no matter how big the situation gets, they will always stand by and protect her, stirring anticipation for the upcoming strife.
Zhao Zixuan is detained for intentional assault. He arrogantly invokes his godmother Zhao Yaqin from Yanyu Group, threatens police with a high-priced lawyer, but faces firm pushback. Panicked, he cries out desperately for his godmother to save him from jail.
Lu Jingshen gets into a fierce argument with his mother, who shows blatant favoritism toward her distant nephew Zixuan. Zixuan injured Jingshen's wife Zhixia and endangered their grandson, yet the mom defends him and even threatens suicide to stop Jingshen from sending Zixuan to jail.
Zhixia and her spouse discuss Mom's unusual favoritism toward distant nephew Zhao Zixuan—he gets thicker red envelopes, calls her godmother, and even homemade soup that neither of them has ever had. They also start questioning the seven-year monthly pregnancy tonic soup, suspecting a dark secret lurks behind these actions.
Jingshen firmly stands up for his wife Zixuan when pressured to make her apologize to his mom. He confronts his uncle with his VP status and shareholder power, threatening to replace him as chairman. Meanwhile, a finance report uncovers a suspicious 3.2 million R&D payment approved by the old madam.
In this episode, the Yanyu Group chairman transfers 3.2 million to a media studio under Zhao Zixuan’s name, then revokes his mother Zhao Yaqin’s group privileges—signing authority, driver, apartment, and deactivates her unlimited black card. Later, Zhao Yaqin tries to use the card to pay for an 8800-yuan damaged vase, only to find it declined, facing staff who threaten to call the police.
Lu Jingshen confronts his mother after she freezes his card, demanding she recover the 3.2 million transferred to Zhao Zixuan. His mom invites him to a family dinner to 'clear the air', which he suspects is a trap. His wife then recounts seven years of devoted care—preparing over 2000 tailored soups—only to be cruelly dismissed for being childless.
After seven years of tolerating his mother's insults toward his wife Zhixia, Jingshen realizes his mistake, apologizes to Zhixia and vows to stand firmly by her. Just as they start to reconcile, Old Zhao delivers shocking news: the Old Madam will hold a family banquet to force the couple to divorce, sparking intense upcoming conflicts.
After seven years sitting in the corner at family dinners, Zhixia—pregnant with the Lu family's child—tells husband Jingshen she won't hide behind him anymore. Jingshen agrees to take her to Saturday's dinner, and upon arrival, he firmly asserts she is his wife, standing up for her.
At the Lu family gathering, Lin Zhixia is dismissed by her mother-in-law and relatives for being childless in seven years and lowborn, treated as an outsider. They push for her divorce and praise Miss Zhang, but Lu Jingshen firmly stands by his wife, securing her seat and confronting the family.
Lu Jingshen's mother pressures him to divorce Lin Zhixia immediately, stressing the Lu family needs an heir and mentioning Ruowei can marry in later. When Jingshen reveals Zhixia is carrying the Lu family's first grandson, his mother reacts with shock and disbelief.
Lu launches a fierce confrontation with Zhang Yuwei, threatening to bankrupt his family if he ever speaks ill of his wife Zhixia again. He then calls out his own relatives for holding fake, high-paying positions at the company to collect unearned dividends. Declaring he’ll no longer tolerate any disrespect toward his wife, the family quickly shifts to show concern for Zhixia upon learning she’s carrying the Lu family’s eldest grandson.
Lu Jingshen's mother stuns others by claiming her unborn grandson won't be born, raising suspicions. At the shareholders' meeting, a member proposes Jingshen step down and volunteers to take over as chairman. His mother presses him to admit fault and release Zitao, warning it's his final chance.
