A car accident caused the modern workplace elite Su Wanqing to travel to 1975, and she became a poor orphan girl who was sold by her stepmother to an old man in the military zone for "joy".
On their wedding night, she was faced with a cold face and a warning: "Don't think I'll touch you." Her husband, Lu Zhanbei, is a well-known "cold-faced king of hell" in the military region. He only married her to complete the political tasks arranged by the organization.
Faced with an era of scarce supplies and her husband's family who was always making things difficult for her, Su Wanqing did not accept her fate. She used modern knowledge to secretly improve her life: she used discarded fabrics to make fashionable clothes, used simple ingredients to make delicious dishes, and even secretly helped her husband solve technical problems in the army...
When Lu Zhanbei discovered that this "bought daughter-in-law" was not only literate and numerate, but could also help him crack military codes, his defensiveness gradually turned into appreciation. And Su Wanqing also found her own value in this special era - from the despised "happy wife" to the "virtuous wife" praised by everyone in the military region, to the military technician who was admitted under exceptional circumstances.
But the stepmother's family's calculations, the political turmoil during the special period, the return of her husband's ex-girlfriend... One test after another comes one after another. Let's see how modern women use their wisdom to play with the 1970s and make the cold-faced officer willingly hand over his heart!
