The original heroine is her cousin. After they both go to the countryside as educated youths, they fall for the male lead at the same time. In the end, the main couple fall in love, while the cannon fodder is cast aside. Unable to cope, she jumps into a river and drowns, becoming a thorn in the heroine's heart for the rest of her life. Jiang Nuan: What?! A widower raising three kids is this popular?! The competition to become a stepmother is this fierce?! This is outrageous! After working herself to death in her previous life, Jiang Nuan only wants to be a salted fish in this one. The male lead? Stepmotherhood? Cannon fodder? Get lost, all of you. I'd rather enjoy the gossip. * The Jiang family cuts ties with her unilaterally and leaves her to fend for herself. Jiang Nuan can't bear the hardships of the resource-scarce 1960s.

Although Song Weiguo doesn't work diligently to earn work points and just goofs off all day, making him a layabout in the villagers' eyes, he's the Song family's precious youngest son. And the smell of meat often wafts from the Song home, making everyone drool. The Song family seems like a good bet! In the original story, the original Jiang Nuan jumps into a river and takes Song Weiguo, who jumps in to save her, down with her. What a fateful connection!
