Ma Dongmei and Zhen Xiqi went from campus sweethearts to a married couple.
Zhen Xiqi cheated on her, and his mistress turned out to be Ma Dongmei’s half sister, sharing the same mother.
Unable to bear the shock, Zhen Xiqi tried to jump off a building and end his life. Ma Dongmei went to talk him down, but he dragged her over the edge with him.
When she woke up, Ma Dongmei had transmigrated into Wu Dalang’s body, just as Pan Jinlian was about to give him poisoned medicine.
Ma Dongmei divorces his wife and opens a restaurant, using modern cooking techniques to become a successful owner.
The unremarkable Boss Wu soon attracts a crowd of beautiful admirers.
Among them are a female martial arts hero, a famous courtesan, and even the daughter of his rival, Ximen Qing!
Boss Wu says, “You married my wife, so I’ll marry your daughter. Fair’s fair.”
But why does Ximen Qing’s daughter look more and more familiar?
It turns out she is Zhen Xiqi, who betrayed Ma Dongmei and caused her to fall from the building in the modern world.
Now a woman named Ximen Yun, Zhen Xiqi keeps competing, vying for attention, and getting jealous. But Ma Dongmei, now a man, feels nothing but a desire to pay her back in kind. He has not a shred of affection left for her.
Ma Dongmei: “You said you’d love only me forever. Why did you change?”
Zhen Xiqi: “A man has to socialize. Don’t you get it? It was just playing along. As a woman, you should be more understanding.”
Zhen Xiqi, now Ximen Yun: “Ma Dongmei, don’t you know men and women should keep their distance? Aren’t you ashamed to visit brothels every day?”
Ma Dongmei, now Boss Wu: “Wasn’t that what you said? A woman should be understanding. Other men have several wives and concubines, and all I did was go out for a few drinks with some courtesans. What’s wrong with that?”
Boss Wu (Ma Dongmei) says that getting even feels incredible.
When the Jurchen army’s hooves thunder into the Central Plains, Boss Wu uses his wisdom and sense of justice to save the people amid the chaos.
