Modern fashion designer Su Wan dies suddenly and travels through time to become Su Wan, who is forced into a arranged marriage swap in 1980. She flips the table and cuts ties with her family, taking only her grandmother's old sewing machine, and relies on her tailoring skills to make bell-bottoms and patchwork pieces, starting from an abandoned cow shed. Falsely accused of speculation and profiteering by Liu Mantang and Liu Meifeng from the supply and marketing cooperative, she proves her innocence with three account books and receipts, staging a counterattack on the spot that gets Liu Mantang suspended. She cooperates with Chen Xiulan from the county department store to run a sewing cooperative, bringing one hundred and twenty women employment, sees through Section Chief Zheng's scam draft, secures a three-year long-term contract in the provincial capital, and ultimately builds the Wanqing Garment Processing Factory, becoming the county's first female ten-thousand-yuan earner and receiving an invitation to the Beijing Trade Fair.
