Love Across the Long River

An Xi transmigrates into a TV drama.

She becomes a pretty widow with three daughters in the late 1970s.

A widow's doorstep is never free of gossip.

And now a man has set his sights on her: a demobilized soldier sent down from the provincial capital, with powerful connections and a leadership position in the commune.

He helps her till the fields, fetch water, and look after the children... Then he simply applies to his superiors to move into her village, and starts showing up at her house every day.

Day by day, they grow closer. Then one morning, they find themselves alone together in the first light of dawn, and he confesses earnestly: "Give me the chance to take care of you, An Xi."

The woman worries that she's a widow.

The man immediately declares, "If you say yes, I'll apply for permission to marry you tomorrow. I've chosen you for life!"

See how this transmigrated widow raises her children and builds a fortune amid the tide of the times, while drawing that high-ranking official down from his lofty perch and into her everyday world, step by step.
