Lin Xiao travels back to 1980 and meets her mother at age twenty.
Li Mei is young and stubborn, and hasn’t yet endured the hardships that lie ahead.
Lin Xiao initially plans to bring her parents together and ensure her own birth.
But after helping her mother fight off villains, secure a permanent job, and build a career, she suddenly realizes that more than deciding whom her mother should marry, she wants her mother to live the life she wants first.
Only, her mother is becoming more and more dependent on her.
As Lin Xiao tries to push her future father forward, she breaks down and explains:
“Mom, I really came here to set you up with someone.
I’m not trying to set you up with myself!”
