The 1960s are poor, but compared with an infinite world full of nothing but wasteland, monsters, and nutritional fluid, they're already paradise. Cheng Ning is very content.
She has only one regret: a full belly makes a person think about romance, but in this remote backwater, there isn't a single man she finds appealing.
Then a group of people sent down to the countryside arrives at the neighboring farm.
Cheng Ning takes one look and sets her sights on Wen Sinian, a battered beauty.
Sure, he's gloomy, lame, and from a bad class background, but he's just so handsome!
He's poor, weak, and fussy, but those abs are irresistible!
Sure, he's sharp-tongued, cold, and always rolling his eyes, but she has plenty of strength and tricks to "win him over."
Overnight, Wen Sinian falls from a brilliant professor admired by all to a reviled intellectual, and suffers every kind of torment.
He swears that one day he'll repay every humiliation and every pain a thousandfold.
But before he can endure hardship, lay his plans, and get his revenge, a female hooligan has already set her sights on him.
Dignity and humiliation, reality and ideals, Schopenhauer and Confucius all get scattered by the cattle and sheep of Cheng Family Village.
His immediate priority is figuring out how to keep the female hooligan away from his waistband.
