share time: 2026-02-09 02:32:17

Su Xiaotang, a modern e-commerce operator, travels back to the 1980s and becomes Lin Xiaoman, a rural woman abused by her alcoholic husband. Right after signing the divorce papers, she’s kicked out by her ex-in-laws. Her mother holds her hand, crying: “We three can only drink thin porridge.” But Su Xiaotang stares at the state-owned restaurant at the alley and touches her only five yuan—she knows braised food will be a hit in the 80s! She boils brine, sets up a stall, and uses modern marketing to sell “Xiaoman Braised Food.” Later, she seizes the clothing gap, travels to Guangdong to wholesale goods, and sells floral dresses in the county department store. When her ex-husband begs for remarriage, she slaps the divorce certificate on the table with a smile: “Lin Xiaoman’s life is no longer within your reach.” Her younger siblings, who once huddled in the corner, now help run the store—time travel isn’t a redo; it’s a chance to turn her maternal family’s bitterness into sweetness.
