share time: 2025-10-21 00:39:18

Lin Wan, a PhD candidate pulling an all-nighter on her thesis, wakes up in a 1983 northwest Chinese village as Zhou Xiulan—an illiterate village woman branded a “husband-killer” by her mother-in-law. Her husband vanished while working away six months ago, leaving her with three daughters (7-year-old, a toddler, and a baby), and only half a bag of cornmeal. Facing eviction to the cattle shed, Lin uses modern agricultural knowledge to secretly raise brooded chickens, trades tie-dyed clothes (learned in college) for money, and even fixes the village school’s fence. But when she saves enough to find her husband, she discovers the missing “husband” looks exactly like her PhD advisor?
