Jiang Yan awakens in the body of a girl with the same name in March 1972, discovering she has transmigrated into a historical novel. The original owner was an adopted daughter of the Jiang family, treated as a servant by her adoptive parents, Ye Chunlan and Jiang Yuan, and constantly bullied by their biological daughter, Jiang Mo. The Jiang family is plotting to marry Jiang Yan to Lu Yunsheng, a battalion commander stationed on a harsh southern island who is infertile due to a war injury. This marriage is a transaction: in exchange for Jiang Yan’s compliance, the Lu family will help Jiang Yuan secure a promotion to deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. When Jiang Mo and Ye Chunlan force Jiang Yan out of bed to accept the arrangement, the original Jiang Yan would have submitted, but the transmigrated Jiang Yan slaps Jiang Mo and negotiates her terms. She demands 100 yuan and various ration coupons as compensation for leaving her family, threatening to expose their scheme if they do not agree. Fearing she will be sent to the countryside instead, the family reluctantly accepts her demands.
Before departing, Jiang Yan discovers she possesses a "sign-in system" that provides daily rewards, including food and a storage ring with infinite capacity. She uses this advantage to stock up on supplies, purchasing snacks, cosmetics, and other necessities at a local supply and marketing cooperative. There, she encounters Lin Meixiang, Lu Yunsheng’s mother, who is visiting to select a bride. Unlike the Jiang family, Lin Meixiang is warm and generous, giving Jiang Yan money and gifts. Jiang Yan also meets Zhang Wanxin, her future sister-in-law, who is kind and perceptive. Jiang Yan realizes the Lu family is not the monster she feared and decides to embrace her new life. She also warns Jiang Mo that their father is a "time bomb" who might sacrifice her for career advancement, planting seeds of doubt in the spoiled sister’s mind.
On the train to the military compound, Jiang Yan navigates the social dynamics of the carriage. She encounters a group of educated youths, including the arrogant Yu Lulu and the sycophantic Zhao Chunhua, who look down on her for marrying an older, infertile man. Jiang Yan retorts sharply, defending her status as a military wife and exposing the hypocrisy of the educated youths. She also observes a handsome young man in a Zhongshan suit who warns her against causing trouble, though she determines he is not the novel’s male protagonist. Throughout the three-day journey, Jiang Yan uses her storage ring to keep her valuables safe and enjoys the relative freedom of travel, contrasting sharply with her oppressive life in the Jiang household.
Upon arrival, Jiang Yan is greeted by the Lu family. She finds that Lu Yunsheng is a disciplined, honorable soldier who is reluctant to marry her because he believes he cannot provide a normal life due to his infertility. However, his mother and siblings are eager for him to settle down. Jiang Yan’s pragmatic and resilient nature begins to win over the Lu family. She establishes herself in the military compound, using her system rewards to improve her living conditions and help those around her. The story follows her adaptation to military life, her growing relationship with Lu Yunsheng, and her gradual distancing from the toxic Jiang family, as she builds a new identity independent of her past suffering.
