They discover that while they are each different in character and they have thing in common: an unhappy home life. Chen Simei, 42, is very thrifty and looks out for discounts and opportunities. Alice, 40, is the modern and trendy one, who enjoys making herself look good. Zhong Aiqin, 39, is a natural worrier. Alice looks down on the others and pretends she’s a rich madame. Simei, in a bid to stand up to Alice, lies that her husband is a rich businessman. Each has a different set of problems – a philandering husband, interfering in-laws and marriages that have lost their romance. All things come to a head when Alice discovers her husband has a mistress. Aiqin, too is shocked when her suspicions about her husband is confirmed. Simei is devastated when she finds that her husband has resumed his gambling habit again. The three women, who had been fighting secretly amongst one another, realise they are all in the same boat. All their sacrifices for their families had come to a nought. It was time for them to live for themselves. They decide to go for a long holiday and set off without saying goodbye to their families. Their disappearances cause chaos in their families. What will the outcomes be after they returned from their long holiday? Will things turns for the better, or worst?
