[Late 1970s] [Feel-Good] [Substitute Bride] [Love at First Sight] [In-Laws Dote on Her] [Domestic Life]

Su Jinxiu's older sister took a huge bride price from a division commander's family, then ran away before the wedding. To repay the money, Su Jinxiu takes her sister's place and marries Xiao Jingyi, a disabled war hero.

Xiao Jingyi is a hero of the flood-relief effort. While rescuing people during a flood, a boulder struck his lower back, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.

Having lost hope in life, he agrees to marry at his parents' urging so they won't worry about him.

But Xiao Jingyi, who had given up on life, never expected Su Jinxiu to be the woman he fell in love with at first sight. He goes from being insecure to becoming strong and confident, vowing to protect Jinxiu and help her build a bright future.

Su Jinxiu genuinely loves Xiao Jingyi too. She studies traditional Chinese medicine and massage, helping him recover from his paralysis. The young couple grow closer and closer.

Her parents-in-law are both soldiers, and they dote on Su Jinxiu endlessly.

Su Jinxiu also seizes the opportunity when the college entrance exams are reinstated. She studies hard, gets into university, rides the tide of the times to start a business, and builds a bright future of her own.
