You Want to Take Everything I Own? Dream On! I'll Marry a High-Ranking Official

In early winter of 1978, everyone in the Red Star Machine Tool Factory family compound thought the Lin family was about to fall apart. Lin Aiguo, an eighth-grade fitter, was bedridden, while their relative Zhao Guihua secretly schemed against them. She coveted the Lin family’s factory job and even planned to take advantage of their adopted daughter, Lin Zhixia.

Reborn into a new life, Lin Zhixia refuses to be bullied any longer and exposes Zhao Guihua’s plot on the spot. Armed with memories of her past life and a stubborn streak, she’s ready to take on everyone with ulterior motives! Zhao Guihua’s hidden valuables? She’ll reclaim every last one and protect her family’s peace.

One late night, Lin Zhixia has just found the valuables hidden in the abandoned boiler room when the newly appointed police captain, Lu Ye, corners her against the wall.

The tall, broad-shouldered man has the cold, unyielding air of early winter. “Why are you up in the middle of the night? Where did you get these ration coupons?”

With her back against the brick wall, Lin Zhixia gives him a defiant look. “I happened to find them. If you don’t believe me, Captain, follow the rules.”

Lu Ye looks at her stubborn expression and replies in a low voice, “Follow the rules? I’m afraid they won’t be enough to keep someone like you in line.”

A slice-of-life tale set in a bygone era, full of clever battles against schemers and a fight to protect the family’s livelihood. Watch a rugged, no-nonsense man and a spirited young woman fall into a sweet push and pull.
