Reborn in the 1980s, Su Suining opens her eyes to find that her own father has sold her to an old bachelor in a neighboring village for a bride price of fifty yuan. In her previous life, she had been meek and miserable, and after her worth was completely used up, she froze to death in the snow in the twelfth lunar month. This time, she has the jade bangle space her mother left her: a spirit spring that nourishes all things, fertile fields where anything she plants will grow, and a modern supermarket stocked with supplies. She breaks off the engagement, divides the family assets, and signs a contract severing family ties. Then she leaves with her timid older sister, taking nothing with them. Using her space and modern know-how, she sets up a street stall, opens a factory, and gets into university, building a prosperous life one careful step at a time. After an accident, she saves a mysterious, badly wounded man named Gu Xiuyuan. He says he wants to repay her, but she scoffs: “Instead of repaying me, teach me how to do business.” She has no idea that the man she considers a nuisance is actually the youngest head of military supplies in the capital. From then on, he protects and pampers her, helping her become the most famous businesswoman of the 1980s. As one business conspiracy after another closes in and the secret of her space nearly comes to light, Su Suining wields her wits like a blade and uses her space as a shield. In this turbulent era, she protects her family, holds on to love, and builds a life everyone else can only envy.
