share time: 2025-12-10 00:35:14

Modern workplace elite Su Xiao accidentally travels back to the 1980s and becomes Lin Wan, a daughter-in-law "targeted" by her mother-in-law Zhou Guilan. Just as she's about to fight back, the domineering Zhou Guilan suddenly announces she's "retiring to a nursing home"—she even gives her savings book to Lin Wan and helps her fend off her sister-in-law's harassment. Lin Wan senses something is wrong and discovers Zhou Guilan is secretly collecting evidence of her husband's affair. It turns out Zhou Guilan has been reborn! In her past life, she watched Lin Wan get cheated out of everything by her son's family and died alone in the nursing home. This time, she uses "retirement" as a trap to expose her son and sister-in-law's greed. Lin Wan plays along with Zhou Guilan's plan and reconnects with Gu Chuan, a soldier who had a crush on her in the past. When the husband's infidelity is exposed and the sister-in-law's greed is laid bare, they go from "enemies" to "allies", tear off the family's hypocritical mask, and gain a redemptive bond and a second chance at love.
