In her previous life, Su Xiaoman was beaten by her own father, who treated her like a stepfather would, and by her harridan stepmother. They sent her off to work as a servant wherever they could.
Made to work without being allowed to eat, Su Xiaoman starved to death.
Reborn in the 1970s, an era when even food and clothing were hard to come by, she finds that the same-looking father is completely different from the one in her previous life. He would rather divorce his wife than let her hurt his beloved daughter from his first marriage.
In this new era, Su Xiaoman discovers how much the times have changed. Women can not only go to school, but also go out and do business.
Su Xiaoman seizes every opportunity with all her might, determined never to let herself starve to death again.
The times are calling, calling everyone who strives to improve their lot!
