Xia Liuying had a dream. She was blessed with good fortune, with a father who was the brigade captain and a mother who was the women's director. Her three older brothers all doted on her. Her eldest brother was steady and gentle, her second brother had a fiery temper but often stood up for her, and her third brother was quiet and had always let her have whatever she wanted.
In 1970, educated youths were sent to the countryside. Lin Yang, an outstanding young man among them, took the initiative to court her. They were discussing marriage when, just a few days before the wedding, she discovered that Lin Yang was in love with Shen Huan, another female educated youth. Furious, she argued with him. Later, while fishing at sea, she got into a quarrel with someone and accidentally fell into the water and drowned.
Shen Huan, the educated youth Lin Yang loved, became her parents' goddaughter, married Lin Yang, and lived happily ever after with him.
When Xia Liuying opened her eyes, someone had just pulled her out of the sea. The events of her dream had left her in a cold sweat.
This time, she had survived the accident. She knew she hadn't fallen into the sea by accident: someone had pushed her in on purpose. How could she let that go? She went straight to confront them and gave Lin Yang, that scumbag, a thorough lesson.
Later, while fishing at sea, Xia Liuying found a badly wounded man and rescued him. She discovered he was a soldier from the island's military unit.
Xia Liuying pointed at the man. "You! You're the one I'm marrying. I'll make sure you eat well and live comfortably with my family."
But inwardly, she muttered, "Lin Yang, you damn bastard. I'll find a man a hundred million times better than you, and then I'll finally get this anger out of my system."
The man could hear Xia Liuying's thoughts. He stayed silent, until one day he asked her in bed, "Say that again. How am I better than him?"
