Yao Shuxian wakes up to find herself transmigrated to the resource-scarce 1970s.
The neighborhood office keeps pressuring her to go to the countryside. If she doesn't find a job soon, she'll be sent off to some remote village.
With no other choice and nowhere left to turn, she can only go on a matchmaking date and marry Gao Yanbin, an eighth-grade fitter at a machinery factory.
He's highly skilled and earns a steady salary, but he's a genuine penny-pincher who insists on keeping a meticulous account of everything with her.
Yao Shuxian originally plans to share a life with him for now and get through the crisis of being sent to the countryside.
Once the college entrance exams are reinstated, she'll pass and leave.
But she never expected that this penny-pincher might not be as bad as she thought.
A pampered young woman meets a stingy mechanic. They bicker and pull at each other every day, slowly warming one another's hearts amid the little troubles of life in the resource-scarce 1970s.
