Food blogger Lin Xiaoxiao dies suddenly after working overtime. When she opens her eyes, she has become a 150-jin village girl in Hongqi Village in the 1980s.
Her grandmother had forced her to marry an old bachelor from the neighboring village, all to use the 800 yuan bride price to get her uncle a wife. After she cried and fought back, they locked her in a woodshed and starved her for two days. She ended up hanging from a beam by a rope.
Lin Xiaoxiao sneers. "You want to trade me for money? Not a chance!"
She rejects the marriage on the spot and stands up to her wicked mother-in-law, then takes her parents, younger brother, and younger sisters to split from the family and live on their own.
By chance, she unlocks the space inside her family's ancestral jade pendant. Its spirit spring strengthens the body and cures all kinds of illnesses, and anything planted in its spirit fields yields a bumper harvest. There's also Yuanbao, a spiritual pig who understands people, can find treasure and give warnings. It's practically a walking treasure trove.
She uses the spirit spring water to make dough and vegetables from the space for fillings. Selling scallion pancakes, tea eggs, braised snacks, and sweet soups at a street stall, she earns eight yuan in one morning! She opens a restaurant and a general store, builds a vegetable-growing operation, and helps the whole village get rich. She goes from a plump village girl to the youngest woman in the county to earn ten thousand yuan.
Drinking the spirit spring water helps her lose weight and grow beautiful. With a slender figure and delicate features, she astonishes the whole village. Those who once thought she was too fat are now completely out of her league.
But why does Gu Jianjun, the cold-faced veteran with a warm heart, keep showing up around her every day?
"Xiaoxiao, will you go out with me? I'll hand over my whole paycheck and do all the housework. You just have to look beautiful."
Lin Xiaoxiao rubs her chin. "All right, let's give it a try."
From then on, Gu Jianjun spoils her rotten. Everyone in the village knows he's crazy about his wife.
