Reborn in the 1960s, Li Jingjing finds herself in the body of a frail young woman with the same name. With no way out, she chooses a blind date and a whirlwind marriage. Getting a marriage certificate is only a condition for binding with the System; marriage alone won't grant her benefits. Only by giving sincerely and sharing with others can she trigger a thousandfold return, gradually building up supplies of grain, cloth, meat, and eggs.
She initially thinks her husband is just an ordinary commune member, but later discovers Xu Kaijun's true identity as a soldier and becomes a military wife.
Trusting each other and working as one, the couple deals with every scheme from their neighbors and distant relatives. They carefully stockpile supplies and, through those harsh years of scarcity, make their little household thrive.
