[Period] [The 1980s] [Ensemble cast] [Transmigration] [Feel-good power fantasy] [Mutual devotion] [No golden finger] [Domestic drama] [Widow] [Military marriage]
Lu Zhenzhen, an interior designer, spent seven straight nights revising a design until she finally died of exhaustion, all so she could present renovation renderings her client would approve before construction began. When she woke up, she had transmigrated into an eighties-era widow named Li Yulian.
Well, this was just great. Other people who transmigrated got a pocket dimension or a System. She got nothing, and didn’t even inherit the original owner’s memories. Faced with a group of strangers, she was completely lost. Talk about the worst start imaginable.
Lu Zhenzhen has to deal with a nasty mother-in-law and troublesome sisters-in-law, all while trying to make ends meet and raise two children under ten.
Lu Zhenzhen is no pushover. The only person she ever bowed her head to was her client. What does she care about a troublemaking mother-in-law, meddling sisters-in-law, or an idle village bully?
The sharp-tongued widow is here, so everyone else can get out of the way! She takes on anyone and everyone, using quick-witted sayings and her fighting skills to let loose in the eighties. She succeeds in both love and her career.
She tells her wicked mother-in-law, “A dog lifts the curtain with its paw, but its mouth does all the work!”
She tells the sister-in-law who bullies her, “Stock from a blacksmith’s shop, made to take a beating!”
She tells her love rival, “Wearing a padded jacket in midsummer, burning on both sides!”
Later, Lu Zhenzhen unexpectedly learns that the reason she has none of the original owner’s memories is that the two of them transmigrated into each other’s worlds. Through a bronze mirror from the Tang dynasty, Lu Zhenzhen communicates with Li Yulian, and the two women look after each other’s loved ones from afar.
