share time: 2026-02-24 06:39:21

Modern workaholic Lin Xiaoman dies from overwork and wakes up as the "lazy, pretty fat wife" despised by her in-laws in a 1985 village—her predecessor was deliberately fattened by her mother-in-law to make her a "burden," and her husband Chen Mo, a retired soldier, acts cold only because he fears his "wife-cursed fate" will harm her. Armed with modern business sense, Lin Xiaoman stages her comeback: she loses weight, sets up a braised food stall, revamps old coarse cloth to earn her first pot of gold, and打脸 her in-laws. She even uncovers Chen Mo's secret—his bedside notebook is filled with his wife's favorite orange candies and the floral dresses she longed for. As the fat wife becomes a stylish entrepreneur and the cold husband reveals his true feelings, this 1980s rebirth is about making it big and winning over the man who's loved her silently for years!
