In her previous life, Ye Jiao has her job stolen by her stepsister, then is forced by her stepmother to marry Lu Chenzhou, a cold-faced battalion commander in the border defense forces who is said to be "born under a bad star and doomed to kill his wives." Timid and afraid of trouble, she does nothing but cry after the wedding. During a blizzard that seals off the mountain, she falls into a snowdrift while saving her stepsister and freezes to death in the wilderness.
When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to three days before the arranged marriage.
This time, Ye Jiao doesn't cry or make a fuss. She packs her things and volunteers to follow the troops into the mountains. Everyone waits to see her make a fool of herself. A country girl like her will be crying to go home within three days of arriving in the snowbound outpost.
But the snowstorm blocks the roads, and just after she reaches the sentry post, she hears a commotion in the woods.
Old Wolf King: "An avalanche up ahead! Three soldiers are trapped!"
Squirrel: "Someone buried explosives behind the granary!"
Golden Eagle: "Enemy agents are hiding in the ravine! Hurry and get the two-legged ones to catch them!"
With memories from her previous life and the ability to understand animals, Ye Jiao helps Lu Chenzhou dodge danger time and again, dig up food, and catch enemy agents. She also gets the outpost's logistics running smoothly.
While others lack warm clothes and food, she uses her family's traditional leatherworking skills to sew winter boots for the soldiers. While others gnaw on frozen steamed buns, she takes the wolves out to hunt pheasants and dig for medicinal herbs.
Later, Commander Lu earns a commendation and is transferred back to the military compound. Her stepsister shows up in stolen new clothes, hoping to reconnect, but sees Ye Jiao surrounded by a group of officers. Old Wolf King crouches at the gate, baring its teeth:
"Anyone who bullies my girl gets bitten!"
