In 1983, Xiao Jin, a top student in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages who had just received her diploma, accidentally time-traveled into the body of a rural woman with the same name. As soon as she gave birth to her daughter Yuanyuan, she was forced by her mother-in-law Sun Mei to abandon the child because her husband's family favored sons over daughters. In despair, she ran out of money. After Xiao Jin regained consciousness, faced with a poor family background and a feudal husband's family, she resolutely refused to abandon her daughter and filed for divorce under pressure. With the support of her brother Xiao Hongyu and her mother, she took the child back to her parents' home.
