In 2025, Su Wan, who grew up in a third-tier city, marries Chen Jingming, a “phoenix man,” and spends five years as a full-time housewife. But she finds herself trapped in a miserable marriage: her mother-in-law favors other relatives, her husband is a mama’s boy, and her sister-in-law makes life difficult for her. During a confrontation in which her mother-in-law pressures her to get an abortion because she “can’t have a son,” Su Wan’s heart finally turns cold. She leaves with nothing and returns to Yunxi Village, her hometown, which is on the verge of becoming hollowed out. Though its scenery is beautiful, its industries are in decline. Most young people have left, with only the elderly and children remaining. But Su Wan has two secret identities: she’s an internationally renowned agricultural technology consultant who once led several rural revitalization projects anonymously, and the food blogger “Evening Food Notes,” followed by tens of millions, whose updates she paused after getting married. Her return home is not just the start of her personal comeback, but also the beginning of her effort to lead the whole village out of poverty.
