Republican-era star actress Yu Manli is assassinated on set and unexpectedly travels through time to 1983 in Zhongdu Town via an ancestral spirit deer hairpin, inhabiting the body of a drowned, impoverished young woman of the same name. Upon waking, she is forced to marry the honest carpenter Chen Xu. From a pampered movie queen longing to return to the Republic of China, she transforms into a country housewife grappling with domestic chores and neighborhood prejudices.

Later, touched by Chen Xu's gentle devotion and his parents' rustic kindness, she gradually lets go of her obsession and works hand in hand with him to run Luming House.
