Reborn as a Female Educated Youth Returning to the City

No golden finger, no pocket dimension, no System. There isn’t a single nasty character in the whole book. In 1981, Zhao Ningning, a former sent-down youth, is reborn a month after returning to the city. Her parents are cold toward her, her older brother pushes her aside, and after losing her job, she becomes a “burden” on the family. To make a living, she sells popsicles under the scorching sun and saves up her first bit of money. With a friend’s help, she rents a place and starts selling steamed buns from a street stall. Her piping-hot buns become a favorite in the neighborhood. Just as life begins to improve, her family demands that she hand over her earnings and her secret recipe. When she refuses to give in, they cut off her customers and smash her stall’s signboard. With tears in her eyes, she has no choice but to say goodbye to her friend and head north to the capital alone. In the capital’s clothing market, she starts with a roadside stall and makes a name for herself through her foresight as someone reborn and her willingness to work hard. Her kindness and resilience earn her the help of a young man, and the two team up to open a clothing wholesale shop that grows into a thriving business. When the young man places the keys to a courtyard home in her hands, Zhao Ningning resolutely adds her friend’s name to the property deed, fulfilling the dream she had from the start. From a popsicle stall in a small town to a courtyard home in the capital, she turns her life around while staying true to herself, earning the world’s acceptance and making love and affection last forever.
