In the early days of China's reform and opening-up, Guangdong, prioritized for development, was seen as a paradise by young people from many inland provinces. In a small village called Zhaojiacao in a northern province, six young men and women, including Zhao Xiaoyun (played by Chen Xiaoyi) and Zhiqiang, came to Guangdong with dreams, hoping to change their fate through working. At that time, the textile and toy manufacturing industries were the pillars of Guangdong's development, and diligent working girls were far more sought after than clumsy working boys. Zhao Xiaoyun and several other girls quickly became "outsider sisters" at a certain factory, while Zhiqiang and the other boys were turned away at the door. The outside world is fascinating, yet frustrating. The long journey of working led the close-knit group of girls to make different life choices: some couldn't withstand the temptation of money and went down an irreversible path; some married locals and stayed in Guangdong; some felt that no matter how good a golden nest or silver nest is, it can't compare to their own doghouse, and returned to Zhaojiacao… Among these stories, the most remarkable belongs to Zhao Xiaoyun: after enduring setbacks, she achieved great success in her career, which is truly admirable, and her emotional entanglement with a Hong Kong boss (played by Tang Zhenzong) is also captivating.
