No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

Any Novels That Aren't Stupid, Wish-Fulfillment, or Harem Stories?
In 99% of fantasy novels, the protagonist has an IQ of 250 and their opponent has an IQ of -250. In supernatural novels, it's usually the other way around: the opponent has an IQ of 250 and the protagonist has an IQ of -250. I don't want that kind of thing, and I don't want dumb power fantasies or womanizing novels either. And definitely no damn System novels! I'm looking for something with decent writing.

What a wonderful time-travel novel! The author, with their rich imagination, takes readers back to the 1980s. Among the young people of that era, the protagonist, a successful businessman, turns the tide and becomes a focal point. This is the story—vivid and three-dimensional characters, a fresh and engaging plot—highly recommended! For Dream Makers, rating your novel is the best form of mutual support and encouragement between you and the author.
With its ingenious design, brilliant descriptions, and distinctive accented language, this novel is truly a refreshing read. It touches upon a great deal of daily life, as well as delicate psychological descriptions. It is evident that the author's understanding of life far surpasses that of the average person. His understanding of dialects, in particular, is superb.
With vivid and skillful writing, the author paints a unique picture of the 1980s. In the streets and alleys, the aroma of cooking fills the air, the hustle and bustle like a symphony, playing a simple melody of life; the nascent economic tide surges forth like a bugle call, drawing back the curtain on a new era.
The story of the protagonist Li Xiaochuan after his rebirth is incredibly wonderful. The author's writing is excellent and very meticulous. It brings the images to mind as you read. It's a super good read with delicate emotions and exceptionally well-developed characters! Once you start watching, you can't stop! It's so exciting, I love it!
This book is absolutely brilliant! The film is full of period drama and the main characters have distinct personalities! Li Xiaochuan, as frail as a scholar! But with his extraordinary wisdom, kind heart, and magnanimous spirit, he managed to carve out his own niche in the turbulent and treacherous world of commerce! Wang Jinhu is loyal, brave, and a true brother!
A very good period drama. Although I'm a 90s kid and can't directly experience what it's like for the protagonist to go back to the 80s, you can still see the author's strong writing skills, delicate style, and tight plot, making it hard to stop reading. 👍👍
The protagonist is a man of noble ideals, full of ambition, with a business mind and exceptional decisiveness. He is a rare and extraordinary individual on the road to entrepreneurship. The story is filled with friendship, love, and patriotism, making it a highly recommended positive and uplifting novel.
This novel is fantastic. It tells the story of a powerful figure's rise to power in the shadows. However, it's not suitable for children. The themes of national righteousness, family, friendship, and even love are too complex for young readers to grasp. I suggest the author write in a more straightforward style in the future.
The writing style perfectly captures the characteristics of the 1980s, and the sequence of events is logical. It's not just fabricated for the sake of a fast-paced, exciting story; it shows great respect for the reader's feelings. I really enjoyed this novel and recommend it to everyone. It's just that the protagonist has so many children, and they all belong to other people—that's so tragic! He should definitely bring those people to justice in this lifetime! Go, go, go!
Honestly, of all Tomato's books, only Ninth Street and this one truly command my respect. It's not the kind of tear-jerking, melodramatic story you read to find solace, nor is it a typical rebirth tale of a character turning the tables. It's simply a free-spirited and insightful read. Who gave it such a low rating?
