Female lead: Lin Wanwan
Before transmigrating: A top real estate agent in the 21st century and a star salesperson who thrives on grueling 996 work hours. Quick-witted and highly goal-oriented, she excels at sales psychology, property investment, and negotiation. She believes making money is what matters most, and though she is resilient with a slightly mercenary streak, she has clear principles.
After transmigrating: In the early 1980s, she becomes a young widow in a fishing village in Pengcheng, later an urban village. The original owner was timid. She inherits a dilapidated tenement building with around twenty rooms and a huge debt to loan sharks. Her strengths are her modern real estate knowledge and investment acumen, strong execution, negotiating skills, and adaptability. Her character arc takes her from a landlady collecting rent to a real estate tycoon, while teaching her to trust and love, and to balance business with family.
Male lead: Gu Yuan
At the start: Gravely injured and amnesiac, he is “picked up” by Lin Wanwan. Handsome and aloof, with a mysterious air, he is taciturn but decisive, and exceptionally skilled in combat, hinting at an extraordinary past. He has an instinctive desire to protect Lin Wanwan and the children.
