When two individuals who have previously gone through divorce unite in marriage and raise their children together, they often choose names for their kids that reflect the ideal phase of life, known as hwang-geum-ki, with the hope that their offspring will experience this joyful time earlier than they did. Unbeknownst to them, their children will face various challenges before achieving hwang-geum-ki. Lee Hwang, the eldest daughter, has been married for five years and has a daughter, along with a thriving career, yet beneath the surface, she is far from content.

The second daughter, Lee Geum, suffers from chronic myelogenous leukemia, a serious illness that persistently impacts her quality of life and happiness.
