Storyline

This drama revolves around three women in their thirties. With different backgrounds and personalities, see how they deal with their problems in life.

Wang Manni (Jiang Shuying), a salesperson at luxurious boutique. Manni constantly struggles to make ends meet. When it comes to love relationship, she just could not find the right man.

Gu Jia (Tong Yao), a housewife and businesswoman. She manages a fireworks company with her husband. In order to let her son get a better education, Gu Jia bought an apartment near his kindergarten.

When Gu Jia comes across other rich housewives, she vows to be one of them. Gu Jia starts planning from purchasing limited edition bag, renting a shop space to sell cakes and desserts to taking over a tea plantation. These are all above her means so much so that she has to mortgage her newly bought apartment and fireworks company.

A neglected Gu Jia's husband, Xu Huanshan (Li Zefeng) gets involved with Lin Youyou (Zhang Yue) behind her back. To make the matter worse, his firework factory accidentally explodes and killed some of his workers. 

Zhong Xiaoqin (Mao Xiaotong) is a happy-go-lucky girl while her husband Chen Yu (Yang Le) is a realistic person. Xiaoqin starts to feel her differences with Chen Yu due to sudden news of her pregnancy. At the same time, Xiaoqin's colleague, Zhong Xiaoyang (Yan Zidong) takes interest in her as well.

My View

I enjoy watching every little bit of this drama especially Gu Jia & Manni's stories. Not so much on Xiaoqin though as I feel she is overly dependent on her partner.

4/5 Stars
