The film is based on the true story The Murderous Girl in a Wedding Dress. After spending 27 years behind bars, Old Qin is released from prison to find himself without any family and only a substantial sum of money from a demolition compensation. Determined to fulfill a vow he made to his parents to continue the family lineage, he seeks a spouse in a women’s prison, where he meets Chang Juan, a woman harboring a secret. Upon her release, Chang Juan seeks marriage and eyes Old Qin’s money. However, in her view, someone who has served time in prison doesn’t deserve to carry on their lineage. Inevitable conflicts arise as secrets come to the surface... Both are faced with heart-wrenching decisions time and again: Old Qin chooses life, giving everything for just a shred of warmth; Chang Juan leans towards death, holding no attachment to this world. How will they redeem themselves?
