Lin Qingyun, a top assassin in the apocalypse, opens her eyes to find herself reborn as the second granddaughter of the old Lin family, the one everyone takes advantage of, in the 1970s.
She has barely arrived when her cousin starts making a scene, threatening to die unless they switch fiances.
Her cousin, Lin Qingya, is reborn too. She refuses to marry Huo Tingshen, a demobilized officer with crippled legs who's supposedly on the verge of death, and insists on stealing the transport brigade captain Lin Qingyun was engaged to.
“The Huo family offered three hundred yuan and ration coupons for the big four items to marry a lucky girl who can bring him good fortune. You're that lucky girl, so you go!”
Lin Qingyun sees the scheming in her cousin's eyes and laughs inwardly. You think the transport brigade captain is a catch? He's a wife-beating, family-supporting nightmare!
She can agree to the switch, but she's taking half the three hundred yuan bride price!
Lin Qingya rides a tractor in style to her wedding in the city, dreaming of becoming a rich man's wife. Lin Qingyun rides a battered ox cart to the Huo household, ready to see the disabled officer off and make a fortune.
But who could have guessed that the violent officer, who was supposed to die in bed, would not only get back on his feet thanks to Lin Qingyun's spiritual spring water, but rise through the ranks to become a commanding officer?
Meanwhile, her cousin, who dreamed of being a rich man's wife, spends her days weeping with regret, tormented by the gaggle of younger siblings in the courtyard and her husband's fists.
Just as Lin Qingyun finishes counting her money and plans to leave after a job well done, the man pins her firmly in a corner, his voice low and dangerous. “Mrs. Huo, where do you think you're going with my baby?”
