Lin Zhixia traveled through time and dressed as a village girl who was sold as a substitute for marriage in the 1980s.
On the day of the wedding, all the guests were waiting to see this "goddess" joke. She made a calculation in front of everyone: "This battalion commander has a precious life. He will make meritorious service in three months and become the regimental commander in five years." Three months later, everything came true.
No one knew that what she was counting was not his life, but her own - "I will leave this place within three years." She planned to cure the rumored irascible one-legged officer, save enough money, and fly away.
But the man's account book said: "On the thirty-seventh day, she burned her hands." "On the forty-fifth day, she read medical books until midnight." She pretended not to see it, but in the fragmented vision of that night, she saw the gray hair of the two of them for the first time.
She checked overseas rehabilitation cases for him, and he helped her with political investigations; she saved the emergency chief for his "daydream" vision, and he used military relaxation training to cure her insomnia. Aunt Zhou in the compound loves her like a daughter, but hides the truth that she was abducted; Su Wanqing from Kochi teaches her how to dress and speak, but he is using her divination position; clever Xiaobao helps her promote fortune telling, but he is investigating the real cause of his father's death.
When Lin Zhixia finally figured out the day when he would fully recover and she should leave, she found that she couldn't bear to leave him. The man who burned his account book and said "I can't pay it back", the child who called her "Mom" and chose to grow up in silence, the Aunt Zhou who reported that her son made dumplings for her the night before - the people of this era are more important than any fate she has ever calculated.
The last time she asked, she asked about the tree in the yard. The screen was blank, but she smiled.
"I made a mistake in my calculations," she said to him. "It's not that we will leave in three years, but that we will leave in three years."
