Synopsis
In a small Jiangnan town in 1984, startup CEO Lin Xiaoman wakes up in the body of a timid young wife, ground down by her uncle and aunt and unable to care for even a chicken. She opens her eyes to an empty rice jar and a hopeless situation, only to be branded a freeloader?
Armed with a blueprint of the times and a keen sense for policy trends, she promptly sells her silver bracelet to raise capital. Modern livestock-rearing techniques make her chickens prolific, and her secret braised-food recipe turns her street stall into a sensation. From among the town's first self-employed entrepreneurs, she fights her way to success!
When pushy relatives make trouble, competitors sabotage her, and local thugs harass her, Lin Xiaoman rolls up her sleeves and fights back head-on. She fiercely stands up for her husband and makes money, building a thriving life for them both.
The mild-mannered substitute teacher Shen Yanting is seen by everyone as a bookworm, but his wife's drive lights a fire in him. They are united in heart: he protects her and stands by her side, becoming her strongest support as he moves from teaching to joining her business.
From a duck-braising stall to a food factory, from breaking through in the countryside to expanding into the provincial capital, and then partnering with a special economic zone to build a business empire, Lin Xiaoman rides the wave of reform and opening up. She seizes policy opportunities, innovates with new technology, establishes farming cooperatives, and builds a chain brand, turning a life of poverty into a rags-to-riches legend worth billions!
“Honey, a new policy opportunity has come along. Let's make money and get rich together!” “You build your business, and I'll protect you, stay by your side, and support you forever. I'll never leave you!” A sweet and satisfying period romance where the heroine helps her husband soar, the couple team up to face-slap pushy relatives and seize the opportunities of the times, and their family, marriage, and business all flourish!
