Reborn in a 1990s Fishing Village, I’m Really Not a Sleazebag

[Period setting + daily life + beachcombing + farming + raising kids. No System, family and neighborhood squabbles. If that’s not your thing, don’t read, and please don’t flame!]

As Chen Haonan lay dying, he never expected to wake up in 1990, back in the little fishing village he had always longed for.

It’s still the same familiar little fishing village, but he is no longer the young man he used to be.

He wasted half his life. This time, he wants to live it right, but why doesn’t anyone believe him...

He had no prospects in his last life, and this time he has no grand ambitions either. He just wants to make up for his regrets and live a good life. As long as his family is safe and happy, that’s enough.

Chen Haonan, who was in the late stages of cancer, is reborn and returns to the little fishing village where he spent a lifetime regretting his choices.

In his last life, he was a good-for-nothing everyone despised. He angered his mother to death and failed his wife and children. This time, he just wants to be a good person and do everything he can for his family.

But after he saves his father from nearly getting into a car accident, his father quietly asks him, “Son, was this all part of your plan?”

He finds rare yellow croaker with the help of his big black dog, leaving the whole village stunned. “Good heavens! Chen Haonan can see the future! He’s even figured out where the Dragon King keeps his private stash!”

He takes his wife and children out to dig up seafood and makes a small fortune. His brothers stare at him in awe. “Brother Nan, which poor sucker did you borrow your starting capital from this time? Teach us!”

Chen Haonan: “...”

I really didn’t! I’m not putting on an act! Stop imagining things!

This is a warm and funny story about a good-for-nothing who is reborn and, while everyone mistakes him for a master schemer, is forced further and further down that path as he leads his whole family to prosperity.
