Top-tier star Ji Nanxi is killed by a crystal chandelier on the day she wins an award, then wakes up in a period novel as a love-struck cannon-fodder supporting character who shares her name and meets a tragic end.
It is 1978. The city is brimming with opportunities brought by reform and opening up, while the countryside remains under strict control.
Her original counterpart's family, which favors sons over daughters, practically sells her off to Gu Yanchuan, an antisocial, discharged hunter, just to fulfill his mother's dying wish.
In her previous life, she was infatuated with the educated youth who was the original male lead. The original female lead targeted her at every turn, ruining her reputation until she froze to death after falling ill.
With a new soul in her body, the actress comes to her senses: the scummy educated youth can go to whoever wants him.
By chance, she unlocks a golden finger: she can travel back and forth to a private modern villa on an isolated island, complete with electricity and internet, where she can order takeout and stock up on supplies.
Late at night, she secretly brings back ointment and meat, healing the hunter's old battlefield injuries. The two form a secret alliance.
After the original female lead dies from her own foolishness and is reborn, she realizes her mistakes, abandons the educated youth, and desperately throws herself at Gu Yanchuan, a future tycoon.
Ji Nanxi sneers: You're not getting your hands on my rock-solid support.
With a modern escape route at her disposal, she holds tight to her stoic, strong-willed husband and seizes the opportunities of the era, rising from a muddy, disposable side character to a winner of her time.
