Ever since her parents divorced, Li Jiaying's relationship with her mother, Xia Zhaohua, has been tense. They can barely exchange a few words without ending up in a huge argument.
Usually, they would make up after a few days of giving each other the cold shoulder. This time, Li Jiaying thought her mother was getting married again, while Xia Zhaohua suspected her daughter was dating. The day after their argument, just as their cold war began, they discovered their souls had swapped bodies.
Having graduated years ago and often missing her school days, Xia Zhaohua puts on a backpack again and goes to school in her daughter's place.
Before class: Back in my day, I studied day and night for years to make it out of the mountains. Now I'm back in my senior year of high school, and I've got the advantage.
After class: Wait... Why are we studying dialectical materialism, materialist dialectics, and historical materialism? I was a science student!
After years of studying, Li Jiaying has always looked forward to working life. Dressed like a grown-up in a sharp suit, she goes to work in her mother's place.
Before work: I'll only have to fill in for a few days, look over some documents, sign a few things. How hard can it be?
After work: Why does someone whose spoken English is a total mess like me have to entertain foreign clients?
Ever since the first day of senior year, when Li Jiaying fell out with her classmate Jiang Lu, she has never given him the time of day. Then one day, Jiang Lu realizes she's become strangely friendly, even fussing over him when he wears ripped jeans.
Only after discovering that Li Jiaying and her mother, Xia Zhaohua, have swapped souls does he belatedly realize who he's been showing off for all this time.
Before the body swap, Li Jiaying: Mom's working overtime again and won't be home for dinner. When will she have more time for me?
After the body swap, Li Jiaying: I want to go shopping and see a movie with Mom... But she's so tired from working overtime. I should let her rest. I'm already so happy just to spend time with her!
