Meng Nanzhi transmigrates into the 1970s as a poor girl whose stepmother has traded her into marriage. The moment she opens her eyes, she's expected to marry the village chief's foolish son. She neither cries nor makes a fuss. Instead, she heads straight for the production team's pigsty and uses her knack for treating pigs to trade a leaky mud hut for a red-brick house. The cold-faced veteran next door is always around to help fix the walls and round up the pigs. Meng Nanzhi thinks he's just kindhearted, but later learns he has half a note bearing clues to her birth mother's whereabouts.
