share time: 2026-06-20 06:02:36

Retired grandma Lin Guilan takes background roles at Hengdian to pay for her sick husband’s bills. After touching an ancient scroll on set, she falls into it and becomes the backbone of a poor ancient family—including a weak old mother, a timid daughter-in-law and a helpless grandson. Using modern wisdom, money-saving tricks and quick-witness skills from being an extra, she opens a grocery store to help and holds the family together. She also finds a hidden blood tie to this ancient family, shuttling between the set and the scroll while solving the cross-time mystery.
