In the Eighties, I Struck It Rich by Predicting Disasters

The money-loving top student vs. the roguish elite soldier

Chen Wantang, an ace interpreter of the 21st century, unexpectedly transmigrates into a period drama novel and becomes a doomed side character bullied by her vicious stepmother and scheming stepsister. From the start, she is about to be sold off as the wife of a cripple and have her father’s compensation money stolen. At this critical moment, Chen Wantang awakens the ability to foresee death: by touching someone, she can see glimpses of how they will die.

She uses this ability to cleverly evade the forced marriage, turn the tables, and send the scoundrels to prison. Then, in front of everyone, she exposes her stepmother’s scheme and reclaims everything that belongs to her. In the golden age of the 1980s, Chen Wantang uses her ability to foresee the future to save powerful figures, avoid disasters, and catch criminals, steadily building up her network and fortune. She opens factories, invests, and engages in foreign trade. With her business acumen ahead of its time and an unrivaled sixth sense, she turns a terrible hand into a winning one and builds her own business empire.

Along the way, she meets Lu Ye, an elite soldier on a secret mission. An accidental touch lets her glimpse him covered in blood and facing mortal danger. From warnings to standing side by side, from testing each other to entrusting one another with their lives, the man who seems roguish on the surface but is domineering at heart forcefully enters her world. In the name of protecting her, he takes her under his wing, and together they write a passionate, glorious legend amid the tides of a changing era.
