Shen Zhiyao is reborn in the sweltering summer of 1980, beside a wheat-straw stack in Hongqi Village. It is the very day someone maliciously makes trouble for her, nearly framing her for “hooliganism.”
In her previous life, she was falsely accused without cause and could not clear her name, making her life unbearably hard.
This time, she refuses to be weak. She approaches Lu Ming, the village’s most dependable, rough-hewn man.
“Help me get out of this mess, and I’ll be your wife.”
Lu Ming immediately shields her, declaring to everyone, “She’s my wife.”
Everyone laughs at the city-bred educated youth for marrying down to a poor country man, waiting for her to regret it.
But no one expects that
When someone comes looking for trouble, he protects her with everything he has and takes her to register their marriage that very day;
When people gossip about her, he stands up for her at once and won’t let her suffer the slightest grievance;
When someone deliberately makes things difficult for her, she stays calm while he firmly has her back. Together, the couple faces every storm.
Later, she uses her skills to seize the opportunities of the times, starting with small businesses and workshops and steadily growing them into something bigger.
He stays by her side, hardworking and reliable, supporting her with all his heart.
From a country mud-brick house to becoming a successful businesswoman in the city.
Lu Ming drives back and, laughing, lifts her onto the hood of the car:
“Wifey, you said you’d follow me and live through hard times. Now that we’re living well, are you still coming with me?”
