Overworked office drone Ye Jinman transmigrates into the 1970s as a lazy young intellectual sent to the countryside, and finds herself clinging to the future richest man's leg and begging him to take responsibility.
Terrified, she immediately lets go. “Wrong leg! I'm out of here!”
She turns around and marries Shen Tiezhu, the most hot-tempered veteran in the village, with a little tagalong thrown in as a bonus.
Everyone in the family compound says she's a fool: she turned down a rich catch to marry a poor soldier.
Later, everyone watches in astonishment:
The ex-boyfriend who called her lazy becomes a distributor for her factory.
The gossip who called her greedy begs her for a job.
Even Shen Tiezhu, infamous for his ferocious temper, becomes the poster boy for henpecked husbands.
Ye Jinman sprawls in a rocking chair, counting money. “Honestly, I just want to lie flat and raise a kid.”
Shen Tiezhu silently hands her his paybook. “Wife, here's this month's salary. You can keep lying flat.”
