A Second Marriage in the 1970s, to the Man Across from My Ex

Lin Mingzhu takes her two daughters into the city to find her husband, who works as a sent-down youth, only to catch him kissing a girl from the same compound.

After decisively divorcing him, she's preparing to put down roots in Shencheng when she discovers that the city is strictly checking travel permits. With no household registration or identity, she and her daughters are about to be sent back to their hometown to farm.

Lin Mingzhu looks at her two daughters, who don't want to leave, then at her ex-husband, who's about to marry his new wife. She grits her teeth and marries the ex-husband's neighbor, a former convict who spent three years in prison for reselling factory goods.

Everyone thinks the man will beat Lin Mingzhu to death and kick her two daughters out.

Even her ex-husband and his new wife wait at the door every day to see her make a fool of herself.

But later, the former convict becomes the richest man in the country and spoils Lin Mingzhu rotten. He even treats her two daughters like little princesses.

Her ex-husband watches his daughters call another man Dad every day, and regrets it with all his heart!
