Traveling back to the 1980s, before Lin Wanqing had time to adapt, she was forced to marry Huo Jianguo, the poorest veteran in the village and a tough guy in the village, in her place. On their wedding night, the man threw her a stack of dimes, which became all the family property.
She thought this was a humiliating deal and the beginning of her tragic fate. Faced with the predicament of a cold-hearted husband, a hostile sister-in-law, and a homeless family, Lin Wanqing, who comes from modern times, decided not to accept her fate. She wanted to make money and live a prosperous life for herself and her timid child in this barren era.
Until that day, she opened a yellowed diary at the bottom of the wooden box he kept. Familiar handwriting records a young man's humble yet persistent secret love, and the protagonist of the diary is actually herself. When he returned, he saw her eyes were red and she was instantly at a loss. She held the diary and her voice trembled: "Huo Jianguo, you already knew that I was the one who wanted to marry you?" The man's eyes were red and he clenched his fists nervously, like a child waiting for trial. His voice was hoarse: "... Yes. When I spend all my savings and propose marriage to their family, you are the one I want to marry."
