1980s + reborn + raising five children + building wealth + family life + remarriage,
KPI-based scientific parenting: Lin Qingyan puts her experience managing a multinational company to work running a household of five.
Quantified behavior: Doing chores, getting top marks, and helping the neighbors all earn "contribution points."
Positive incentives: Contribution points can be exchanged for food, household goods, a say in how supplies are distributed, or even a "veto" that lets the children object to one of their mother's decisions.
Watch as the five little demons, driven by self-interest, go from being at each other's throats to joining forces to "earn work points," and from hating school to competing fiercely for "bonuses."
Every step on the heroine's path to wealth leaves people in the 1980s stunned by her foresight.
While others scrape a living from the soil, she studies policy and searches for emerging opportunities.
While others sell goods at street stalls, she exploits regional and timing differences to make arbitrage plays, playing the game of capital.
Every business decision the protagonist makes seems "insane" to those around her, but in hindsight, each one proves "genius."
