Back to the 80s: Outsmarting the Evil Mother-in-Law, Fake Husband Becomes Real Love

share time: 2025-11-02 00:32:55

Lin Xiaoman, a modern workaholic, time-travels to 1985 while burning the midnight oil on a project, becoming the “fake wife” of steel mill worker Gu Mingyuan—they faked the marriage to help Gu avoid a matchmaker from his leader. But her first wake-up call is her evil mother-in-law Wang Guixiang smashing bowls and calling her a “parasite,” even cutting her new shirt into a rag! Lin fights back with modern smarts: she turns Wang’s pickle stall into a “community-famous hit,” solves the steel mill canteen’s loss for Gu, and even trades grain coupons for Wang’s favorite crosstalk tickets… The once cold Gu blushes when he sees her bargaining with hands on hips; Lin also finds this “fake husband” leaves hot congee for her late nights and stands up to say, “My wife—I protect her,” when Wang scolds her. When their “contract” ends, both blush—turns out their fake marriage has long become real love in their hearts.
