Lin Ye, a modern extreme sports enthusiast, encounters an accident while flying in a wingsuit. When he opens his eyes, he transforms into Lin Ye, a widow from the Red Star Commune in the 1970s. What they faced was the mess of her husband falling to death and no money for the coffin - her parents-in-law, who was paralyzed in bed, her honest brother-in-law Shen Jianjun, her cowardly sister-in-law Shen Xiulian, and three children as skinny as kittens. The whole family lived on half a bag of cornmeal.
Lin Ye, who never bowed to fate, shouldered the burden of supporting the family with the few cents saved by her original owner: she took her children to dig herbs and pick wild vegetables in the mountains during the day, and relied on Lu Xiangdong from the commune health center to help sell them in exchange for money; when she met the matchmaker who forced her to marry a vicious butcher, and the lazy Liu Er to grab supplies, she fought back and went to the commune to defend her rights and prove her innocence; in order to raise enough money for the coffin, she studied herbal medicine maps and planned her livelihood, and gradually became the backbone of the family.
There is no bitterness and self-pity, only hard-core counterattack. Lin Ye used modern thinking to adapt to life in the 1970s. While protecting his family from being bullied, he also looked for ways to make a living. Starting from digging herbs, he led the family out of the predicament step by step, allowing his paralyzed parents-in-law to bask in the sun and their children to eat white-flour steamed buns. In the barren years, he lived out the confidence and warmth of a "wild widowed mother".
