Xia Shaodong had had enough of being a corporate drone and was preparing to resign and return to her hometown for retirement. But to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she found herself transported back to the 1960s, a time of scarcity, where she was even bestowed with a green hat. Upon traveling all the way to Kanto, she discovered that her fiancé had already married someone else locally, and they had two children.
To prevent the situation from escalating, her fiancé’s family promptly arranged a marriage for her. The groom was tall, handsome, and had a relative who was a leader in a large factory, which caught Xia Shao’s eye.
What her fiancé’s family didn’t mention was that this man was cold, sharp, and idle, known as a loafer in their hometown. Xia Shaodong not only had to do the laundry and cooking but also had to earn money to support the family, with hard times ahead.
What Xia Shaodong didn’t mention was that before she time-traveled, she had read a novel where the wealthy tycoon highly respected by the male protagonist happened to be her new husband. Furthermore, the country’s eldest son had not yet aged, and the land was rich in resources with factories everywhere, brimming with opportunities. By marrying him, she would have a stable job without overtime, with better days ahead.
What Xia Shaodong hadn’t expected was that her workplace wouldn’t require her to work overtime at night, and her wealthy husband would yield to her.
When the man, with cold eyes and a hoarse voice, tried to persuade her to endure a little longer, she couldn’t help but ask:
What happened to the promised wealth and the reluctance to return home?
What happened to the workaholic without worldly desires?!
