[Sweet period romance + sisters swap marriages + loving couples + pocket dimension and spirit spring + getting rich + everyday family life]
In 1980, the Wen sisters marry the Qin brothers.
The older sister, a celebrated performer in the military arts troupe, marries army officer Qin Zheng.
The younger sister, a butcher, marries village bully Qin Zhaoye.
The villagers say: The first couple are a perfect match of talent and beauty; the second are a rotten fish paired with rotten shrimp.
In a way, both marriages seem perfectly matched.
Then, on their wedding night, the brothers climb into the wrong beds.
The younger sister is puzzled: Why has the village bully suddenly become so refined?
Why is he dawdling over a bit of work? She decides to take matters into her own hands.
The village bully thinks the butcher is going to work him to death.
Who knew the person beneath him would be so sweet and soft?
Has the tigress turned gentle?
The next day, they realize they slept with the wrong people, but what’s done is done, so they have to switch spouses.
The villagers bet these two mismatched marriages won’t last three months.
Some wait for a show, others for a chance to swoop in.
Who could have guessed that the strong, sunny girl and the cunning, energetic big bad wolf would be inseparable?
And that the gentle, cool beauty and the arrogant, sharp-tongued puppy would be equally lovey-dovey?
Both families’ lives grow better and better.
Who could have guessed that Qin Zheng’s first love would return, with the two of them appearing together in the newspaper?
Wen Nuan loudly demands a divorce.
Qin Zhaoye gloats. “Bro, your wife doesn’t want you anymore.”
The next moment, the older sister’s divorce petition lands on the table, too.
That night, Qin Zhaoye pulls out every trick in the book. “Wifey, my brother has a first love, but I don’t. Their divorce has nothing to do with me!”
The older sister says, “How could I let my little sister be the only one getting called a divorcee?”
The next day, Qin Zhaoye raises a knife and yells at Qin Zheng, “Bro, if you can’t win your wife back, we’re cutting ties!”
Qin Zheng sneers. “There’s only ever been one woman I’ve loved.”
