Food Delivery Guy Travels to 1960 as a Pauper: Marries Heiress by Ordering Takeout with His Phone

share time: 2026-03-07 12:33:14

Chen Mo, a 21st-century food delivery rider, accidentally travels back to the 1960s and becomes Li Erniu, a penniless man who can barely make ends meet—with only a Wi-Fi-connected smartphone as his “cheat code.” Lin Xiaotang, the heiress of the local Supply and Marketing Cooperative, is at her wit’s end: her father is dying from a rare illness, and the much-needed imported medicine is nowhere to be found. Chen Mo has a brainwave: he uses his phone to order urgent medicine from a modern pharmacy, which miraculously arrives in the 1960s! To repay him, the Lin family insists on making him their son-in-law, but Xiaotang despises the “penniless nobody” from the bottom of her heart. It’s not until Chen Mo solves her problems one by one with takeout—filling the cooperative’s empty shelves with New Year supplies, cheering her up with milk tea after a breakdown from overtime, and even resolving her conflict with her future mother-in-law using fried chicken—that Xiaotang realizes this “pauper” understands her struggles better than anyone else. Just as they’re about to get engaged, Chen Mo’s phone suddenly flashes “Battery: 10% remaining”—his “takeout magic” is about to fail. Will the happiness he just grasped slip away?
