Back to the Eighties to Marry a Lazy Man

Xia Lan, a successful company president, wakes up one day in the body of Xia Lanlan, a young farm wife in the 1980s.

After more than a decade of hard work, she's back at square one overnight.

Looking at the poor, bare earthen house, Xia Lan touches her delicate face and decides it's no big deal.

With her youth on her side, rebuilding her fortune is only a matter of time.

Then she looks at her handsome young husband and smiles with satisfaction.

Good looks and a fine figure: he's worth keeping around and feeding.

When she first meets Shen Mingbei, Xia Lanlan mistakes him for a delicate flower, too weak to carry a shoulder pole or lift anything.

But what others see as flaws are advantages in Xia Lanlan's eyes.

Villagers: Shen Mingbei is so fair and fine-skinned. How can he compare with the square-faced, dark-skinned butcher Wang next door?

Xia Lanlan, smiling: His features are so neat and his skin so fair. Just looking at him makes me want to eat two bowls of rice.

Villagers: Shen Mingbei is lazy and idle. The only good thing about him is his mouth.

Xia Lanlan nods: He knows how to bend with the wind, sweet-talk, and act like an obedient little puppy.

Villagers: Shen Mingbei spends all day trailing after his wife and only does what she says. He's hopeless.

Xia Lanlan is stunned: You mean I get all that too?

Reborn Xia Lanlan is perfectly happy with a life where she supports her husband. Little does she know that her delicate-flower husband is planning to rebel.

What?

You want to go out and earn money?

Xia Lanlan is horrified. What if the sun roughens up your face?

Shen Mingbei is famous throughout the surrounding villages for being lazy.

The villagers laugh at him, his brothers look down on him, and even his parents throw him out.

Everyone in the village treats him like a joke and wonders when he'll starve to death.

Then one day, after all that waiting, they discover that...

The village layabout has not only stopped being lazy, but has also become the richest man in the city.
