Jiang Lan was abandoned by her parents as a child. After working hard enough to buy a little villa, she is hit by a drunk driver and sent back to the 1990s.
Her parents both have steady jobs and cherish her. Her fiancé may be an ordinary temporary worker, but Jiang Lan is happy with a simple life.
Then her cousin Jiang Ning gets caught in the rain and suddenly loses her mind. She refuses the factory director's son her aunt painstakingly chose for her, insisting on swapping marriages with Jiang Lan instead.
Jiang Lan gets a good match and compensation money from her aunt, so she promptly gets married.
*
Jiang Ning swallows her pride to snatch her cousin's engagement, expecting to take Jiang Lan's place as the wife of a future tycoon.
Instead, Zhao Yang successfully transforms his factory into an electronics plant, making it one of the country's model factories, while Jiang Ning's husband gets laid off.
The electronics plant becomes the top seller in the domestic market. Jiang Ning pressures her husband to start a business, but he fails.
The plant lands an international order worth a million and becomes a globally popular computer brand. Jiang Ning gets her husband sent to prison.
Jiang Ning murmurs, “This isn't how it was supposed to go. I was supposed to be the tycoon's wife.”

Zhao Yang is completely absorbed in his work and has no interest in romance. When he learns his fiancée has been swapped, he resents the Jiang family, but after meeting Jiang Lan, his resentment turns to relief.
Jiang Lan is fair and beautiful, with a pair of captivating almond-shaped eyes that keep making his heart race. Her gorgeous, flowing curls are complemented by her brisk, open-hearted nature.
Zhao Yang has struck gold. He wants to cherish his wife like a treasure.
To keep his wife from having to suffer, Zhao Yang devotes even more energy to his work.
His wife wants to buy a few more houses, so he buys them.
His wife travels a thousand miles to buy up apartment buildings near a fishing village, draining their savings. Zhao Yang grits his teeth and goes out to earn more!
Before he knows it, he's become an electronics tycoon.
His wife...
His wife is lounging lazily when he sidles up to her, eyes full of hope. “Honey, can I sleep in your room tonight?”
Jiang Lan rubs her aching lower back. What good would it do to stop him? Even if they don't share a room, the rascal sneaks in at night to hold her anyway.
“Suit yourself!”
