Waking Up in the 80s with a Three-Year-Old Kid

Modern office worker Su Xiaotang died from overwork while rushing a project, only to wake up in 1985 in Ning'an County—as the "jinx" hated by her mother-in-law, with a three-year-old doll-like kid named Xiaotuanzi calling her "Mom"! To her shock, her "husband" Gu Mocheng is the village's famous "cold-faced scholar," said to have been "trapped" into marriage by her. Su Xiaotang complains about the terrible transmigration plot but rolls up her sleeves: selling hand embroidery, running a sugar water stall, and turning their shabby home into a warm haven. Meanwhile, she deals with Xiaotuanzi's clingy affection (like hugging her legs for bedtime stories) and Gu Mocheng's unspoken care (like leaving a hot bowl of porridge by her bed). Just as she falls for this cozy family life, her previous life's scumbag boyfriend transmigrates too, claiming he'll "win her back"! Su Xiaotang holds Xiaotuanzi's hand, looks at the hot towel Gu Mocheng offers, and smiles: "Want me? First, get past my happy 80s life!"

Family Misfortune: The Spoiled Brat & His Overprotective Grandma

Lin Xiaoman, the new daughter-in-law of the Lu family, dreamed of a warm life—until her father-in-law married Zhou Cuilan, a step-grandmother who spoils her grandson beyond reason after Lin's mother-in-law passed away. Zhou turned her grandson Lu Xiaoyu into a "little devil": tearing Lin's design drafts, breaking her skincare products, even soaking her succulents in hot pot soup. When Lin tried to discipline him, Zhou would yell, "He's just a kid!" Her father-in-law also told her to endure. Things escalated when Xiaoyu ruined her important bid document—Lin snapped, only to discover Zhou's "spoiling" came from guilt over her own son. She fought back with reverse tricks: if Xiaoyu broke her cup, she "lent" his Transformers to the neighbor's kid; if Xiaoyu tore her book, she hid his comics in Zhou's mahjong box. A hilarious battle between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandparent-grandchild begins. Who will win—Zhou's overprotection or Lin's "brat-taming skills"?
