The Sweet Little Darling of the 1980s Makes Lunch Boxes in the Northeast

After waking up, Lin Nuannuan, an office worker from the city, finds herself transformed into a pampered young woman at a forest farm in Northeast China in the 1980s.

Faced with an empty house and the judgment that she’s “all looks and no practical use,” she rolls up her sleeves with one clear goal: make money!

Can’t cook elaborate dishes? Then she’ll start with boxed lunches! With marketing savvy far ahead of its time, she turns “eggs for points” and “weekly specials” into hits at the little forest farm, making her lunch stand the hottest spot around.

But what’s with the stern-faced, demobilized soldier who keeps hanging around her stand? When she sets up shop, he keeps order; when she expands, he helps with the renovations…

When a rival deliberately slashes prices, Lu Zhenhua quietly places an official document in front of her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

See how this marketing genius of a pampered young woman uses a boxed lunch to make waves in a changing era and find fulfillment in both her career and love life.
