In his previous life, Lu Xianren was a notorious "loafer" in the villages around him in the 1970s. Using his father, the production-team leader, as a shield, he spent his days idling away, lost in a stupor. By some stroke of luck, he married the most beautiful woman around, Lin Xiuxiu. After she gave birth to three children in quick succession, she drowned in a pond on a cold morning in 1971, leaving behind endless grief and vicious rumors.
In 1977, after his father died unexpectedly, he turned over a new leaf and shouldered the burden of supporting his family. Starting as a substitute teacher, he studied hard and eventually entered a top university alongside his youngest son. After a lifetime of hard work, he earned five doctoral degrees, spanning agriculture, industry, and the internet, and built a vast business empire.
But just as he reached the height of success, his daughter's question pierced his heart: "Did you drive Mom to her death?"
When he opened his eyes again, Lu Xianren discovered he had returned to 1971! In his arms was his beloved wife, Lin Xiuxiu, warm and alive. Beside him were their three little ones, crying to be fed. At the moment he regretted most, fate had given him another chance!
This time, he would hold on tight to his wife's hand and make up for what he had taken from her in his previous life! He would also put the wisdom and foresight he had gained to use, starting with the barren land beneath his feet: improving farming techniques, developing sideline businesses, bringing in machinery... He would make sure his family had enough to eat and warm clothes to wear, and lead the entire production team, even the villages for miles around, step by step toward a prosperous life with "upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones"!
Watch as Lu Xianren, reborn and returned, begins by saving his beloved wife, then rewrites his life and builds a brilliant, glorious 1970s all his own.
Super pretty!
