An ordinary modern-day supporting actress, Dou Xiaochan, unexpectedly travels through time — waking up as Dou Dou, her grandmother's younger sister who died young. Bound to a marriage-matching system called 'Full Satisfaction', she can only return to the present to claim her inheritance if she finds good partners for her family members, who are fated to suffer tragic lives. The family has long been exploited and oppressed by her step-grandfather's cruel and greedy relatives. With wisdom and courage, Dou Xiaochan stands up against mistreatment, protects her father, brothers, and elder sister. She befriends Shen Mo-ci, an educated youth sent down from the capital. She builds up a small handicraft business to improve their livelihood, strives to rewrite the whole family's miserable destiny — and amidst the warmth and bustle of life in the 1970s, she finds true love herself.
