Reborn in 1982, Shen Jianhua looks at the three frail, timid little girls before him, and it feels as though a boulder has crushed his heart.
In his previous life, he was utterly beyond saving!
Relying on his handsome looks and silver tongue, he had won the heart of Li Xiuying, the prettiest educated youth for miles around.
His wife was gentle and virtuous. She gave up her chance to return to the city for his sake and used her family’s connections to secure him a coveted iron rice bowl. They should have had the sort of life everyone envied, but he ruined it all.
When he was framed and lost his job, he refused to reflect on his own mistakes. Instead, he became bitter, drinking, gambling, and wasting his days.
After his wife gave birth to three daughters in a row, his obsession with having a son drove him to give up completely. He let his wife and daughters suffer the whole village’s disdain, going hungry and enduring hardship.
In the end, his wife died young from exhaustion, and his three daughters were forced to wander from place to place. They each became successful as adults, yet remained cold and distant toward him. He himself ended up alone and miserable, dying full of regret.
Then, in a single moment, he was reborn on the day before his wife and daughters left him for good!
Shen Jianhua finally came to his senses and resolved to change!
With a magical spring ring in hand and decades of survival experience from his previous life, he seizes the business opportunities of the 1980s: catching eels, gathering wild mountain produce, starting side businesses, and pursuing every chance to make money, one solid step at a time!
From then on, he makes protecting and cherishing his wife and daughters his very core. He stands up to troublemakers, protects his family, and challenges prejudice, turning every debt from his previous life into boundless love in this one!
The first television, washing machine, and refrigerator in the village: he gets them all. His family eats well and wants for nothing. He personally makes his wife and daughters the most envied people in the village!
Heartwarming daily life, a meteoric rise to wealth, and a family showered with affection. No angst, no contrived drama. Watch a down-and-out street loafer turn into the perfect husband and make up for every regret!
