Tang Keyue, a wealthy young woman from the modern era, dies of an illness. When she opens her eyes again, she has become a rural woman in the 1970s whose husband has just died, leaving her with a child.
Her in-laws want to seize the house and the few dozen yuan her husband left behind. The day after his burial, they cruelly sell her and her daughter to an ugly, lame man from their village for sixteen yuan, making her his wife.
Enough is enough! Mess with Tang Keyue, and that's when your troubles begin!
When the ugly man comes for her, she raises a woodcutter's knife. “You can marry me, but leave me one arm and one leg as the bride price!” The man flees in terror.
When it comes to her in-laws, she doesn't waste words before fighting back. “If you won't let me live in peace, then none of you will either!” Her awful in-laws are so frightened that they quickly agree to cut ties with her.
To protect her daughter and herself, Tang Keyue puts up her defenses and bares her fangs, becoming a fearless madwoman. Whoever provokes her will face a fight to the death. She becomes someone the whole village is afraid even to mention.
Only that man loves her just as he always has…
