Reborn into Financial Freedom

[Starting a business + rural markets + no System + no pocket dimension + one heroine + devoted father + fishing]

Chen Chen never dreamed he could be reborn at the age of seventeen. It is the summer of 1984. He has just graduated from junior high and failed to get into high school.

After a falling-out with his family, he storms out of the house with his childhood friend Chen Xi, who also failed to get into high school. The two take a long-distance bus north to the capital to find work. A fellow villager eventually helps them land jobs as electricians at a hotel in the capital.

After being reborn, Chen Chen learns from the hotel’s head chef. With years of hard work and savings behind him, he returns home to start a business, opening a small steamed-bun shop, making firecrackers, selling watermelons, and setting up at country fairs.

After years of building his wealth, he achieves financial freedom. His wife becomes the village landlady, while he spends his days riding a tricycle to the river with the old family dog, enjoying life as an avid fisherman. (The male lead’s skills: making firecrackers, cooking, driving a tractor, electrical and plumbing repairs, and masonry.)
