Lin Wanxing is reborn on the day in 1976 when she marries Gu Yanchen, a cold-faced military officer. In her previous life, her stepmother Wang Cuihua, stepsister Lin Qiuyue, and scumbag Lin Jianjun conspired against her. She lost her chance to return to the city, had her heirlooms stolen, and died in an icy river, all while letting down Gu Yanchen, who had truly loved her. Reborn, she comes to her senses and resolves to protect Gu Yanchen, avenge her family, and build a good life. The portable spatial dimension she awakens becomes her greatest asset.
No longer resisting as she did in her previous life, she calmly marries into the Gu family. As soon as she arrives, she publicly humiliates the scumbag Lin Jianjun when he comes around to pester her, leaving him disgraced. When her stepmother and stepsister repeatedly show up to make trouble and scheme to take her chance to return to the city, she hits back at every turn, demanding an exorbitant sum in compensation and embarrassing the two women. She also exposes Lin Qiuyue’s sabotage of a shop on the spot, ruining her reputation. In the end, the wicked mother and daughter and the down-and-out scumbag all suffer miserable comeuppances, much to everyone’s satisfaction.
With grain, spring water, fabric, and her embroidery skills from her spatial dimension, Lin Wanxing improves the Gu family’s meals and health, then makes money from her embroidery. With the full support of Gu Yanchen and her mother-in-law Zhang Guilan, she opens an embroidery and pastry shop in town, followed by a large three-story store called Star Pavilion in the county seat. Business booms, bringing in a fortune every day, and the country bride becomes a beautiful businesswoman admired by all. Meanwhile, her relationship with Gu Yanchen grows ever closer. He treats her like a princess, protecting and caring for her in every way. They confess their feelings and live happily together.
After Lin Wanxing becomes pregnant, the whole Gu family dotes on her like a little princess. Then Gu Yanchen’s true identity is revealed: he is the heir to one of the capital’s most powerful families.
