Jiang He, a master's degree in agriculture in the 21st century, transformed into the "unlucky bride" in a remote mountain village in the early 1990s. On their wedding night, the groom Lu Chen, an educated youth, disliked her for being "rustic" and threatened to divorce her as soon as the quota for his return to the city became available. Jiang He was cowardly and swallowed his anger due to low self-esteem, but Jiang He picked up a red book and slapped the table: "If you can, first divide the bricks on the beams of the adobe house into half piles for me - to save you from going back to the city, I will sleep in the cowshed and feed the mosquitoes?"
