Lin Xiaotang, a 40-year-old "factory flower" at a knitting mill, faces three midlife crises: her husband cheats with his secretary, her daughter finds her "tacky" and avoids her, and her supervisor tries to transfer her to clean toilets. One day, she stumbles upon a handmade scarf she designed 20 years ago, reigniting her dream of being a designer. To her surprise, a young designer, Gu Mingyuan, notices her work and helps her start a short-video account and live-stream sales. Lin's "tacky but real rants" in the live streams go viral—like "My husband said I looked like a fairy with a ponytail when he chased me, now he says I look like his aunt!" and "My daughter says my floral shirt makes me look like a fish seller, but I saved three months' salary for it!" As her business takes off, her husband begs to reconcile, but she firmly rejects him. Gu then reveals he's the orphan she helped 20 years ago, returning to repay her kindness. When her brand blows up, her daughter hugs her and says, "Mom, you're cooler than all my classmates' moms!" Watch this 40-year-old "old factory flower" laugh off crises and become her own heroine!
