Cheng Kaiyan is unexpectedly reborn in the winter of 1979, as an arts troupe soldier who earned distinction in the South and has just been discharged.
That year, he returns to the capital with his severance pay in his pocket, ready to start living the good life: copy a few books, make some money, and climb to the top of the world.
Then a letter from Jiangcheng, a thousand miles away, catches him completely off guard.
One hundred yuan, an apology letter, and a marriage contract!
Only then does Cheng Kaiyan learn that his father arranged an engagement for him when he was a child.
Wasn't this sort of engagement supposed to be feudal nonsense?
No way! Whoever wants this marriage can have it!
But when he sees the name and introduction on the marriage contract, Cheng Kaiyan realizes he spoke too soon.
"What? Her name is Liu Xiaoli? She works at the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater?"
"Isn't that Sister Xiaoli, the celestial beauty's mom, Auntie Liu?"
"No, wait! She should be a lovely, graceful twenty-year-old dancer!"
A marriage arranged by one's parents and matchmaker is no child's game, is it?
He's definitely marrying this fiancée!
He's curious: if they have a daughter someday, won't she be Liu Tianxian?
But... why is she here to break off the engagement?
Fine, fine!
One day, you'll learn what it means to chase your husband all the way to the crematorium!
