In her previous life, Jian Li was a proper rich beauty, gorgeous and charming.
But after being framed and sent to a poor rural village, her stunning looks made her a target.
To avoid becoming someone's mistress, she set her sights on Song Yi, a rugged soldier who had returned home on leave. She did everything she could and finally married him, giving birth to boy-girl twins.
Their little family lived happily, until a sudden flood struck that year. She was swept away while trying to save her children, and disappeared without a trace.
Her husband's family thought she was dead. Her mother-in-law pushed a young woman she had chosen long ago onto her son as his second wife, supposedly to take care of the two motherless children.
But Jian Li had survived. Two years later, after searching with all her might, she found Song Yi, only to discover that there was no place for her anymore.
Song Yi had become the gentle, considerate husband everyone praised, and the twins had become the sweet, filial children everyone admired.
And it was all thanks to another woman.
While Jian Li died sick and alone in a cramped basement, Song Yi was off enjoying the sights with his wife and children.
Looking back on her life, she was consumed with regret.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to 1970.
It was her second year in the Song family. The twins had just turned one, and she was being bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Fine. Whoever wants to be the dutiful daughter-in-law can do it. Whoever wants to be the selfless, devoted mother can do it. She's done with all that!
You say she's a pampered young lady? Then she'll act like one!

When Song Yi came home on leave, he suddenly noticed that his sweet little wife had changed.
His mother told her to kill a chicken, so she pouted and asked Song Yi to do it for her, saying she was afraid to kill it.
Song Yi had just rolled up his sleeves when the village chief called him away. He hurried back to help his sweet wife, only to see her standing with her back to him, chopping off chicken necks one after another while muttering, "Honestly, what's the use of a man!"
Song Yi suddenly shivered. ...Looks like I'm sleeping on the floor again.
