Zhao Tieliang, a man from Northeast China, drank a kilo of liquor to drown his sorrows. When he woke up, he found himself back at the end of 1988.
In his previous life, he was already well past his youth and still a bachelor, with a family so poor they had nothing. He loved Ma Cuilan, but her father looked down on the penniless young man and did everything he could to keep them apart. With no other choice, Zhao Tieliang became the Gao family's live-in son-in-law. His wife cheated on him, and when he tried to warn her, she berated him mercilessly.
Bitter and frustrated, he drank a kilo of liquor. When he woke up, he discovered he had been reborn.
Since Heaven had rewound the tape of his life, he was determined to seize this chance, leave poverty behind for good, and change his fate. A real man should make something of himself!
His childhood friend Fan Wei was honest and dependable, and became his right-hand man. Zhao Tieliang started out selling sunflower seeds from a street stall, then advanced step by step. With the advantage of knowing what was to come, he steadily built his fortune. Ma Cuilan, the girl he loved, came to help him too. Seeing how hard he worked to make money, her father stopped standing in their way, and Zhao Tieliang finally married the woman he loved.
Zhao Tieliang kept pushing forward, one step at a time, until he claimed the title of richest man in the country, writing a rags-to-riches legend with his youth and hard work.
