Back to the '80s: Flash Marriage to a Soldier, Ex-Husband Begs for Forgiveness

Lin Anran is a dedicated emergency room doctor and orphan who lives a solitary life in a bustling city. Her routine is disrupted when she saves a critically ill elderly man who gifts her a family heirloom jade bracelet, insisting it is destined for her. After accidentally cutting her hand, her blood merges with the bracelet, granting her access to a mysterious spatial dimension. This space contains a traditional siheyuan courtyard, fertile land, a river, and a ginseng tree bearing fruits that restore youth and health. The space also features an infinite storage room and accelerated crop growth, allowing five days inside to equal one day outside. Initially, Lin Anran uses this power to transform her physical appearance and stockpile essential supplies, including food, clothing, medical equipment, and livestock, preparing for an uncertain future while navigating workplace jealousy from a colleague named Wang Tian.

While driving to a rented warehouse, Lin Anran is involved in a severe car accident after brake failure. She wakes up in 1980, inhabiting the body of a woman with the same name. This original owner was an overweight, neglected wife married to Gao Ershan, who despised her and openly cheated with a widow named Chen Yan. Driven to suicide by humiliation, the original owner’s spirit merges with Lin Anran’s consciousness. Using the ginseng fruit from her space, Lin Anran rapidly transforms her body, shedding weight and restoring her beauty. She asserts dominance over her abusive husband, catching him in the act of infidelity and threatening him with a knife to establish boundaries. She demands a divorce, which Gao Ershan reluctantly agrees to, though he is confused by her sudden change in demeanor.

As Lin Anran adapts to life in the 1980s, she uses her medical skills to gain respect in the community, notably saving a child from choking. Her quiet life is interrupted when she discovers Leng Feng, a special forces soldier, bleeding in an alley after being ambushed by underworld assassins. Despite the danger, she hides him in her home and performs emergency surgery to save his life. Leng Feng, recovering in her bedroom, confesses his feelings and proposes marriage, offering her protection and love. Their relationship develops amidst the tension of Leng Feng’s pursuers searching the area and the hostility of Gao Ershan and Chen Yan, who suspect Lin Anran is hiding a man. The story culminates in a confrontation when Gao Ershan, tipped off by Chen Yan, bursts into the house accusing Lin Anran of adultery, forcing Leng Feng to hide on the ceiling beams while Lin Anran faces the enraged crowd.
