The heroine, Su Wanxing, wakes up in the body of a doomed supporting character in a 1970s small-town novel. The original woman drugs a government official to marry him, only to be tormented by her in-laws, rejected by the male lead, and ultimately die a tragic death. Timid and hopelessly lovesick, she devotes herself to climbing the social ladder through the official, only to meet a miserable end.
Su Wanxing, who comes from the modern world, is an independent, confident career woman. She understands business, thinks for herself, and is both gentle and strong. With stunning looks, all she wants is to stay out of the story, keep herself alive, and build a career. At first, she humors the male lead, but later, moved by his sincerity, she joins him in carving out a place of her own in the small town.
The male lead, Lu Zheng, manages the town's state-run supply and marketing cooperative. Tall and handsome, he has a steady presence, strong principles, and a sense of responsibility. He is efficient and perceptive. Born into a prosperous family, he controls the cooperative's supply distribution and commands great respect in town. Though he seems gentle, distant, and indifferent to romance, he is actually devoted and possessive. Once he chooses someone, he protects her with everything he has. Awkward with words but thoughtful, he gradually comes to love the heroine deeply, moving from a sense of responsibility to wholehearted devotion. He respects her ideas and ambitions, dotes on her without limit, and quietly paves the way for her business ventures.
