Song Tian, a mechanical engineering researcher with superhuman strength, transmigrates into the body of an eighteen-year-old orphan in 1972 China. The original owner was tricked by her adoptive family into marrying Lu Beizhen, a military commander who had been in a vegetative state for two years following a combat injury. The Song family promised a docile husband who would not argue, but Song Tian discovers upon waking on her wedding night that her husband is unconscious. Lu Beizhen’s mother, Fang Shuqin, initially offers to cancel the marriage out of guilt, but Song Tian, calculating her bleak future if returned to her abusive adoptive family, chooses to stay. She convinces Fang Shuqin that she is willing to care for her husband, securing a stable living situation and protection from her hostile relatives.
On the wedding night, while Song Tian is changing Lu Beizhen’s clothes, he suddenly awakens. His initial reaction is hostility; he feels deceived and demands a divorce, refusing to accept her as his wife. However, Fang Shuqin intervenes, leveraging military regulations that require a six-month waiting period before a divorce can be processed. During this time, Fang Shuqin actively schemes to bring the couple together, hiding Lu Beizhen’s car keys and forcing them to share a bedroom. Song Tian’s innate strength becomes a recurring point of surprise; she effortlessly repairs military vehicles and moves heavy industrial equipment, distinguishing her from the ordinary women of the era.
A critical turning point occurs when Song Tian suffers from severe menstrual cramps. Lu Beizhen, despite his cold demeanor, brings her hot water and a hot water bag. In her pain-induced delirium, Song Tian clings to him throughout the night, mistaking his body heat for comfort. This intimate moment shifts Lu Beizhen’s perception of her, though he remains outwardly stoic. Shortly after, Jiang Xiaoyu’s mother arrives, revealing that Lu Beizhen had previously been engaged to Jiang Xiaoyu, who abandoned him when he fell ill. The mother’s entitlement and greed provoke Fang Shuqin’s fury, reinforcing her determination to keep Song Tian as her daughter-in-law.
Seeking financial independence, Song Tian visits the local machinery factory. She witnesses a safety accident where a worker is trapped under a falling steel coil. Using her strength, she operates a forklift to rescue the man and identifies a critical manufacturing defect in the steel coils that the factory director had overlooked. Her actions prevent further accidents and save the factory significant economic loss. Impressed by her technical knowledge and bravery, the director hires her as a full-time level-four worker, granting her a stable income and social status.
As Song Tian establishes her career, her relationship with Lu Beizhen evolves from hostility to a complex coexistence. He begins to notice her competence and kindness, particularly when she gifts him items purchased with her own wages. Meanwhile, Fang Shuqin continues her relentless matchmaking efforts, interpreting every small interaction as progress. The story follows Song Tian’s navigation of 1970s societal constraints, her professional growth, and the gradual thawing of her marriage as Lu Beizhen confronts his growing attachment to the woman he initially rejected.
