Song Zhiyi was reborn on the day her stepmother, Wen Shufen, drugged her and sent her to the bed of Xie Xingwen, a soldier from Beiqiao Village. In her previous life, this forced union led to a miserable existence where she was abused by her mother-in-law and mentally disabled brother-in-law, ultimately dying while eight months pregnant. Determined to change her fate, Song Zhiyi resisted Xie Xingwen and instead slept with a stranger, Lin Huaiyu, to avoid the setup. The next morning, she fled before he could identify her, returning to find her stepmother celebrating the submitted marriage application.
Wen Shufen had intercepted Song Zhiyi’s acceptance letter for a coveted job at the Steel Factory, intending to marry her off to secure a dowry for her own daughter, Song Yating. Song Zhiyi outmaneuvered her stepmother by demanding a ten-thousand-yuan dowry, which Wen Shufen reluctantly provided. Song Zhiyi then sold the job placement to a rival classmate, Peng Luwei, for two thousand yuan, and used the Apricot Grove Space System she had acquired upon rebirth to store her late mother’s belongings and reclaim items she had previously gifted to the Song family. She left home under the cover of darkness, heading to the Xie family to formally break off the engagement.
Upon arriving at the Xie household, Song Zhiyi found Xie Xingwen acting strangely. Unlike his past-life indifference, he refused to cancel the marriage, insisting she join him at his military unit after the wedding. Unbeknownst to Song Zhiyi, Xie Xingwen had also been reborn and regretted his past neglect of her. However, Song Zhiyi remained resolute. She contacted the military unit to report the forced marriage, successfully suspending the application. The Xie family, humiliated by the broken wedding, confronted the Song family, exposing Wen Shufen’s scheme to drug and force the marriage.
Song Zhiyi traveled to Bai City to stay with her aunt, Zhong Shuxian, who lived in the same military compound as Xie Xingwen’s unit. On the train, she used her acupuncture skills to save an elderly man, Lin Huiying’s grandfather, from a heart attack. She also detected signs of chronic poisoning in him. In Bai City, she reunited with her aunt and was introduced to the Lin family. Lin Huiying, grateful for the life-saving treatment, offered Song Zhiyi a job as a healthcare provider for her grandfather, along with accommodation in the Lin residence.
Song Zhiyi moved into the Lin family home, where she encountered Lin Huaiyu, the stranger she had slept with the night of her rebirth. He was now a regiment commander and initially viewed her with suspicion due to his covert duties. However, as she treated his chronic headaches caused by an old injury, their relationship began to thaw. Lin Huaiyu noticed her resilience and kindness, while Song Zhiyi remained focused on establishing her independence and protecting her aunt and cousin from the hardships she remembered from her past life.
Meanwhile, Wen Shufen and Song Yating attempted to claim Song Zhiyi’s job at the Steel Factory using a fake acceptance letter, only to be publicly exposed and humiliated by the factory director and Peng Luwei. The Xie family’s attempt to reclaim their betrothal gift also failed as the community learned of their coercive tactics. Song Zhiyi, now secure in her new role and living situation, began to build a life free from the abuse of her past. She used her medical skills and the resources from her space to support her aunt and cousin, while navigating the growing tension and unexpected attentions from Lin Huaiyu, who was determined to uncover the truth about the woman from that fateful night.
