Mei, a 25-year-old living with her parents, dreams of marriage and family. Her mother, a busy doctor, is rarely home, while her father works from home and is always there. Mei's younger sister is married with twins, and Mei desperately wants the same life. Though beautiful and easily attracting suitors, each man she brings home ends up hating her after meeting with her father. Her father abuses her, and the men turn on her, similar to how her sister treats her. Her best friend sets her up with a nice man who is out of the country for a week. During that time, she confronts her father about dating and marriage rights, leading to another violent episode where he chases her with a knife. Her best friend calls the police, but after an office meeting with the father, they release him and threaten Mei with charges. Her best friend also turns on her, and Mei stops talking to her. The man, Mei, was set up with texts to confirm their meeting when he returns. She meets him secretly despite knowing her father would object. They date for months, and as Mei stops asking about dating at home, things improve slightly. After six months together, he asks Mei to move in with him. She reveals the abuse at home; though shocked, he believes something must be happening due to her fear. They decide to move in secretly. He buys her new clothes and a phone so she won't need to pack anything from home. They live together for eighteen months before he proposes, and she accepts. Wondering why they're not pregnant yet, Mei visits a fertility doctor who tells her she doesn't have a working uterus due to being exceptionally beautiful—a trait linked to infertility since a plague targeted top beauties generations ago. Her husband reassures her they can adopt, but secretly seeks ways to make pregnancy possible for Mei. Meanwhile, her family finds them and tricks the husband into visiting their home. After an office meeting with the father, he returns to Mei confused but not violent; however, he's now cold towards her. They continue their lives under the watchful eye of Mei’s family until one morning, she wakes up back at their house. Panicked about her husband’s whereabouts, they show her surveillance footage of herself murdering him and claim she's schizophrenic. The family insists they've been trying to help despite bruises Mei claims are from abuse. Overwhelmed by this last incident, where they allege she killed him before calling them herself, she volunteers for a mental hospital stay. There, she befriends an infertile "girl" abandoned by family due to beauty standards—similar to Mei's own story—until a cop revisits the case months later. He reveals that Mei's parents were abusing her all along and planned to sell her off because of infertility; it was all exposed thanks to evidence gathered by Mei’s sister, who also suffered under them. Mei learns that neither she nor her sister was a biological child; both were kidnapped young, but only the sister appeared compliant enough for better treatment. Her sister even faked pregnancy using another woman's babies so as not to be sold off herself due to infertility rumors within the family circle meant only as manipulative games played out over the years against both sisters. Mei discovers that her husband is indeed alive after being held captive by her so-called parents. Her sister and she reunite as well and testify at their court hearing. Mei goes on the hunt for her biological parents. Mei volunteers for fertility lab experiments and is ecstatic when they are a success. She must learn to navigate pregnancy while looking for her biological parents and being there for her friend who can now get pregnant as a man. Still being seen by the doctor who helped her get pregnant, she was there when the doctor found out that her assistant had just been dumping the serum in the river by the facility. That river led to the drinking water. Now, pregnancy and gender, as they know it, are being redefined.
