[Story]
As Professor Liang lay dying, he couldn’t take his final breath until his daughter guessed what was on his mind. Only then could he pass away in peace.
When he did, he returned to Hou Village in Jin Province in the 1970s, as an educated youth who herded sheep.
With the “treasures” he’d brought back from his previous life and his knowledge of the future, he thrived.
Everyone says the 1970s were so hard, but Liang Zhiqing was secretly having the time of his life!
Can’t he succeed without relying on his father or risking his life, just by being lucky?
Before you know it, he’ll be living the high life!
He travels by car, takes a soft sleeper on business trips, and even the highest-ranking leaders show him respect!
