Cheng Yunan, a genius girl who graduated from Qingbei University at sixteen, suddenly transmigrates into the 1970s as the real daughter of a family who had been replaced. Upon opening her eyes, she finds herself in a dire situation—about to be sold off. Refusing to accept her fate, she strikes back, even sending her "mother" to marry someone else.
Penniless and trying to earn a living, she accidentally gets mistaken for a thief by a "hideous" man and almost gets caught. Their next encounter? The same man, covered in blood, collapses before her. Driven by a fleeting sense of morality, she drags him into a trash bin to save him.
The third time they meet, the man frightens off his blind date, and Cheng Yunan can't help but laugh at his misfortune. But then, the "ugly" man unexpectedly proposes marriage. Hoping to escape her toxic family, she agrees to a sham marriage, only to realize it’s all part of his plan.
Lu Shiye declares: “Once you’re in my house and on my bed, you’re my woman. Divorce? Only over my dead body.”
And so, Cheng Yunan finds herself pampered daily, her waist constantly sore from his affection. The “ugly” man turns out to be irresistibly charming after all.
Cheng Yunan: "Turns out, ‘ugly’ men are the best... if only my waist could survive."
