Lin Rui, a doctor of archeology, accidentally traveled back to 1976 and became Zhou Ruifang, a rural girl who was about to get married.
All he brought with him was an ancient mirror mark printed on his chest. It can heal injuries and predict, but it also comes at an unknown price.
The husband's family looks glamorous, but in fact life is difficult: the mother-in-law is good at calculations, the husband is honest and cowardly, and there is always a competition between food, rice, oil and salt. She wanted to use modern thinking to deal with it and use the power of the mirror to break the situation, but she found that the more she struggled, the more she seemed to be entangled in a net.
From the first meal that was withheld, to the misappropriated money for a full moon of wine; from the pain of miscarriage, to the bloody head break when the family was separated... She seemed to have changed something, and yet it seemed as if nothing had changed.
It wasn't until her son raised a kitchen knife and slashed at the grandmother who had oppressed them for half their lives that she desperately understood: She could change every bad thing, but she couldn't break the old rules that made the family torture each other.
This article tells the story of a woman who tried to live a successful life with a little foresight, but was eventually swallowed up by life. There is no Shuangwen counterattack here, only the helplessness and struggle of ordinary people in the face of fate, and the little bit of thoughts that refuse to be extinguished.
