Su Wanwan, the heiress to a modern supermarket, gets into a car accident and wakes up as Su Xiaomei, a country girl in a poor mountain village in the 1970s.
Her family owns nothing, and they barely have enough to eat. To make matters worse, her stepmother is forcing her to marry a widowed cripple in exchange for a bride price.
Su Wanwan says, “This is no big deal!”
After all, she’s bound to a portable supermarket System where she can buy anything she wants!
The city supply co-op is out of stock? She has everything!
Young people sent to the countryside are short on food? She sells it at affordable prices!
While everyone else goes hungry, she quietly enjoys good food and drink, and even runs a little side business. Life couldn’t be sweeter.
But what’s with that stern-faced young intellectual who keeps showing up outside her courtyard wall?
“Comrade Su, your ration coupons are fake.”
“No way! I got them through legitimate channels... Wait, when did you figure it out?”
Bo Hanchuan calmly opens a packet of White Rabbit candies. “When you first sold me brown sugar.”
Su Wanwan: ...
So he’d figured her out ages ago!
Years later, a famous entrepreneur is interviewed with his wife at his side. The reporter asks, “Mr. Bo, many people are curious: where did your wife get her first capital?”
Bo Hanchuan replies expressionlessly, “I gave it to her.”
Su Wanwan coughs furiously beside him. “You mean the money I took right back out of your pocket!”
