[1980s Fishing Village | Ensemble Cast's Rise | Satisfying Rags-to-Riches Story | Period Romance]
In her previous life, Su Yan, the best sea-forager in Chaowan Village, was hopelessly lovesick.
She gave her body and all her savings to her boyfriend.
At forty, she died alone in a nunnery.
When she opened her eyes again, her boyfriend was on top of her.
Su Yan raised her knee and slammed it into his most vulnerable spot, then kicked him flying. He was impotent from then on.
But she never expected she wouldn't be the only one with a rebellious streak.
Wait, so she and her mother had agreed to be reborn together?
At the birthday banquet, her blindly filial father slammed the table and demanded a divorce. Her mother, Zhu Xiulian, who had endured a lifetime of misery, picked up the cleaver from the chopping board.
"Divorce! I'm done serving this bloodsucking Su family."
The table was overturned.
The four women in the family got straight to work.
In the middle of the night, they moved everything out of the house. Before leaving, Zhu Xiulian gave her ex-husband a special parting gift.
Su Yan rolled up her sleeves. "I'm the best at gathering seafood. I'll make a fortune in the 1980s, come hell or high water."
They moved to the city. The sky didn't fall, and the breeze was soft and the flowers fragrant.
The four of them got perms, made new clothes, and put on Snow Flower Cream.
So this was what life could be like.
Su Yan went from selling seafood at the train station to owning the biggest seafood restaurant in the county. The men who followed her included an industry and commerce official with approval documents in hand, and the manager of the largest agricultural market.
And at an age when Zhu Xiulian was as vigorous as a wolf, suitors lined up from the village entrance all the way to the county seat.
"Mom, which one are you going to choose?"
"Choose? Let them wait in line! From now on, I'm putting myself first."
