After working herself to death, food blogger Wen Nuan opens her eyes to find herself a mother in the 1980s. Her first baby isn't even a year old, and she's already expecting twins. Her husband is a mama's boy, a wife-beater, and a cheater! His family has terminal son preference, and to make room for the scumbag's new lover, her mother-in-law and husband scheme against her at every turn. They don't just want Wen Nuan to die young; they also want to torment her children.
Wen Nuan turns the tables, taking on her wicked mother-in-law and putting her scumbag husband in his place. She also puts her top-notch cooking skills to work to earn money, raise her children, and build a better life.
But why does the taciturn, rugged man next door keep quietly helping her with all sorts of chores, and say he wants to marry into her family?
