Modern special forces soldier Ling Chuan accidentally dies during a mission and time-travels to the military camp of Fengghuo City in the Great Zhou dynasty, becoming a low-ranking grunt struggling to sell his wife to survive in a turbulent world. Just as Colonel Chen Jingyao forces soldiers to select wives, Ling Chuan is forced to marry Su Li, the daughter of a convicted official. While the military bullies led by Liu Wu expect him to continue selling his wife, Ling Chuan is no longer the original Ling Ergo; he is determined to treat Su Li kindly and protect her from all harm.
