In a twist of fate, Su Linlang, a high-ranking general in space, wakes up and finds herself in 1980s Hong Kong.
Good news? She is now the daughter-in-law of the richest family in Hong Kong—the He family, and the eldest daughter-in-law to boot.
Bad news? On her wedding day, her husband is kidnapped, and her father-in-law is attacked. The wedding festivities turn into a funeral.
Worse news? The 1980s are a volatile time in Hong Kong, where today’s richest family might become the poorest tomorrow. The He family is on the brink of ruin.
As per the plot, her mother-in-law is tricked while selling antiques and stocks, losing all their wealth overnight and aging into a white-haired woman.
Her husband, tortured nearly to death, escapes from the bandits but is left blind and maimed.
Su Linlang, as the eldest daughter-in-law, knows she has to act decisively. With a two-meter long machete in hand, she ventures into the heart of the bandit lair to rescue her husband herself.
A few days later, the kidnappers, frightened and broken, rush into the police station to turn themselves in. Her husband is safely rescued, and Su Linlang’s reputation as the eldest daughter-in-law is cemented.
After a while…
- Her timid mother-in-law, under Su Linlang’s dominating influence, invests all her savings in mainland China, and by 1997, her wealth skyrockets.Her rebellious younger brother-in-law, frightened by his sister-in-law’s assertiveness, flees to the North, only to accidentally become a film star and gain fame nationwide.The stuttering younger sister-in-law gradually gains confidence, and becomes Su Linlang’s trusted ally in family disputes and arguments.
And her husband, who was supposed to be crippled and blind, not only regains his strength but also becomes increasingly lively, gentle, considerate, and humorous—making it impossible for Su Linlang to stay mad at him, even if she wanted to.
As the head of the He family, He Pouting is as deep as a wolf in thought and manner, with an intimidating presence that even Hong Kong’s most beautiful women avoid.
But everyone in Hong Kong knows his one weakness—he is terrified of his wife!
