A woman works herself to death beneath a fruit tree. Her soul is reborn, sent back in time to when she was 20, becoming Su Miqing, an 18-year-old country girl in the 1980s. On the first day of her rebirth, she falls in love at first sight with Lu Dingyuan, a young town chief. In secret, Lu Dingyuan takes on the identity of “Nanshan Ke” and quietly watches over her, coming to her rescue whenever she is in danger. He even resigns as town chief and follows her to the orchard, devoting himself to keeping her company.
Their love is opposed by her future mother-in-law, who comes from a family of officials and bluntly says a country girl is not good enough for her son. Su Miqing gives herself three months to prove her worth. Drawing on her experience from her previous life, she leads the whole village to prosperity through hard work, attracting a provincial inspection team. Their ecological agriculture project even becomes a national model. Her mother-in-law gradually changes her attitude, secretly claiming a plot of land and tending it for Su Miqing.
On the eve of the wedding, a lover from her previous life sends her a text, wishing her the chance to make up for her regrets in this life. This is no Cinderella story about a prince and a poor girl. Through her own efforts, Su Miqing finds success in her career and a happy, fulfilling love.
