When the factory she runs with her husband burns down, Erhao barely survives the accident and loses both her livelihood and her husband. Widowed for the third time, the woman is deemed cursed by the villagers. But a few miraculous events make her realize that she can turn the superstition of the villagers into a means of livelihood. After having survived the difficult days following the accident, she begins a new life by introducing herself as a shaman, giving advice to people and finding remedies for their various sufferings.
