[Period drama + Northeast China + sweet romance + transmigration + everyday child-rearing + ensemble cast]
Her husband is too busy, so Ling Yan has to take the kids to an island by herself. She plans to pick coconuts once they arrive, but unexpectedly transmigrates to the rural Northeast in the 1980s.
In a bohemian maxi dress, with fair skin and stunning looks, she has a pair of twin children, a boy and a girl, as adorable as dolls.
The villagers gather around the mother and her children, staring and gossiping.
“Whose young wife and children are these?”
Ling Yan is still bewildered when she spots a familiar face in the crowd. As if she’s found a lifeline, she rushes over, sobbing. “Waaah, honey, where are we? I’m so scared!”
Shen Jiacheng, who was merely passing by to see what was going on, is suddenly hugged. His face turns bright red. “Miss, you… you’ve got the wrong person, haven’t you?”
“I don’t know you.”
Just then, the two kids rush over and hug Shen Jiacheng’s legs, calling him Daddy in their childish voices.
Ling Yan takes a closer look at him and exclaims, “Huh? Honey, why do you look younger?”
It finally dawns on her: she has transmigrated to the rural Northeast in the 1980s, where her husband is still a handsome young man!
Ling Yan refuses to leave Shen Jiacheng alone and brings the kids along to stay temporarily with the Shen family.
Ling Yan’s suitcase has come with her through time, too. The Shen family think the durian inside stinks, but one bite wins them over.
Fresh coconuts are as sweet as honey. Shen Jiacheng has never tasted water this sweet in his life.
With instant coffee powder, Ling Yan gets the villagers drinking soy milk lattes in the 1980s.
Of course, the suitcase is full of pretty dresses, too. Wearing them, Ling Yan looks charming and beautiful, becoming the village belle. So many people come to ask for her hand that they’re nearly tearing down the Shen family’s door, while Shen Jiacheng turns red-eyed with jealousy. “Wife, are you going to leave me?”
