In 2023, 28-year-old investment banking VP Jiang Xun was a powerhouse in the financial world. On a stormy night, she set off to close a merger that would reshape the business landscape. But a mysterious car accident swept her into a time vortex and sent her back to 1983. When she woke, she discovered she had taken over the body of Zhao Chunmei, the notorious shrew of the machinery factory's residential compound. Her new body was covered in bruises, and everyone accused her of being a habitual peeper at the men's bathhouse. They also dredged up the original Zhao Chunmei's past: she'd been disciplined for falsely accusing the head of the technical department.
A tangled conspiracy lurked behind the original Zhao Chunmei. Her "husband," Chen Weidong, was a technician at the machinery factory. Though he appeared to have a disabled right leg, he secretly possessed mysterious blueprints identical to those involved in a classified-document leak at a military industrial company in 2023. Their neighbor, Zhou Xiulan, seemed to have nothing more than a personal grudge against Zhao Chunmei, but was actually a spy planted by foreign forces.
In this unfamiliar era, Jiang Xun put her modern knowledge to use, transforming the sewing group at the residential compound. The poplin dresses she designed caused a sensation on the black market. But after berating Lin Jianshe in Japanese for embezzlement, she found herself mired in suspicion of being a spy. As she searched for the truth, she discovered that the original Zhao Chunmei had been one of a pair of twin substitutes. The real Zhao Chunmei had already been silenced in a machine-tool renovation accident, and Chen Weidong's disability was also a disguise. Yet an even greater secret lay behind it all.
Can Jiang Xun cut through the layers of deception and find a way back to 2023 amid the undercurrents of conspiracy? Can she uncover the truth that has been buried by time since 1983? A thrilling adventure through time begins, as past and present intertwine.
