Reborn in 1973, Su Wan becomes an orphan girl in Li Jia'ao Village, where she has endured endless hardship.
Her awful relatives bleed her dry, her mother is too timid to stand up for herself, and they barely have enough to eat.
Luckily, she awakens a gigantic supermarket she can carry with her, stocked with everything from grain, oil, and fabric to medicine and textbooks.
With the mind of an adult, she keeps her head down and waits patiently by day, secretly trading ration coupons for money at night. She protects her mother from their awful relatives while studying hard, waiting for the 1977 college entrance exams to turn her life around.
She intends to make it on her own, but unexpectedly meets nineteen-year-old Lieutenant Lu Zheng, a reserved and handsome soldier sent to the countryside to recuperate.
The young man stands tall in his uniform and hardly says a word, but he takes special care of her, shielding her from every storm and keeping all her secrets safe.
In the lean years of the 1970s, with him devotedly protecting her, she not only turns her life around and becomes a college student, but is also pampered into someone everyone envies.
