Reborn in 1981: From Crushing Debt to Becoming a Tycoon

No System. Please go easy on this if you're looking for a System story!

In 2023, overworked office drone Chen Mo is unexpectedly reborn as his 22-year-old self in 1981. From the start, he gets a “surprise package”: creditors demanding repayment on a stormy night. With a three-day deadline hanging over his head, the protagonist becomes one of the earliest livestream sales pioneers, selling everything from clothes to appliances as the country moves from a planned economy into reform and development. He goes through the turning points of “breaking the ice, starting a prairie fire, riding the tide, soaring like a roc, sparking a flame, and welcoming the dawn.” This sock-selling brother's entrepreneurial journey is full of humorous moments like, “Comrade, this isn't a capitalist tail,” and ends with an underdog's rise amid the spring breeze of reform and opening up.
