Gu Qiu transmigrates from the apocalypse to the 1970s with a pocket dimension and, in a whirlwind marriage, weds Luo An, a fellow villager. Little does she know he is a powerful man who keeps a low profile, the director of a factory in the county seat.
Luo An has four younger siblings who dislike Gu Qiu, assuming she has come to freeload.
Only later do they discover how delicious the wild-vegetable porridge their sister-in-law makes is. It seems she uses some kind of special seasoning.
She also takes them out to raid birds' nests for eggs and catch pheasants. The money they earn buys them lots of tasty treats.
She even keeps the household running like clockwork.
The four little ones become her constant shadows.
Seeing this, Luo An smiles knowingly, thinking that from then on they will live a peaceful, steady life together.
But he never expected his wife to bring him even more surprises.
The village's news soon revolves around her.
“Have you heard? Luo An's wife opened a brick factory. Villagers get a discount, so we'll all be able to live in brick houses.”
“Have you heard? Luo An's wife is hiring villagers at her brick factory. We'll have meat to eat every day and wages every month.”
“Have you heard? Luo An's wife also opened a livestock farm, and our village has been named an advanced village.”
From then on, Gu Qiu becomes the most admired and envied person in the whole village.
