Lin Yuan, a young man in the 21st century, is a fan of online novels. When he stayed up late to read "Growing Up as a Post-80s Dad", he accidentally traveled to the world of the book and became Zhou Weiguo, a worker at the Jiangbei County Machinery Factory in 1983. The original owner was addicted to alcohol and domestic violence, leaving behind three children with very different personalities: 12-year-old eldest daughter Zhou Xiaoyun is sensitive and precocious, 9-year-old son Zhou Xiaoming is naughty and clever, and 5-year-old daughter Zhou Duoduo suffers from congenital asthma. Faced with a impoverished family, cold-faced children, and the ending of the book that was doomed to die young, Lin Yuan decided to rewrite his fate and start a counterattack in the 1980s when supplies were scarce.
