Qiao Xiayue transmigrates into the late 1970s as a pampered, unemployed young woman who is treated like a human cash machine by her own mother and causes trouble wherever she goes.

In the original story, she not only forces her boat-repairman husband, He Shanbai, to hand over all their savings so her younger brother can buy a job, but also elopes with a clean-cut young intellectual, only to die miserably in an illegal coal mine.

When she opens her eyes, she finds herself in a home stripped bare. He Shanbai is coldly slapping their last two yuan down on the table.

“The money’s gone. If you can’t stand the hardship, go to the neighborhood office and get a divorce whenever you like.”

Faced with this rugged man, broad-shouldered and long-legged, practically radiating masculinity, Qiao Xiayue promptly pockets the money, then turns around and drives her mother and brother out with a broom when they come begging for cash.

“I’m not leaving. I’ll make a life with you.” She smiles as she pulls out the ten yuan she earned altering clothes on the black market. “But from now on, I’m in charge of the household money.”

He Shanbai’s gaze darkens as his big hand clamps around her slender waist. His voice is hoarse and rough. “Once you’re aboard my boat, getting off won’t be so easy. You can handle the money, but I’ll handle you.”

By day, she makes a fortune in the little city, quietly working away at her sewing machine. At night, the man pins her against the cramped doorway and takes his pleasure with raw, untamed strength.
