Back to the 1990s: The Stepmother Only Wants to Build Her Career

Ling Chen, a ruthless businesswoman, has an accident and becomes a nineteen-year-old stepmother in the 1990s, newly widowed and suddenly saddled with a three-year-old boy.

At the memorial hall, greedy relatives eye her covetously, hoping to seize the compensation money and kick her out of the house.

Ling Chen clenches her fists, ready to deal with them by force, when the neighborhood director, the women’s federation aunties, and the veteran uncles burst in and shield her and the little boy. “Touch our Chenchen or Tongtong, and see what happens!”

From then on, the business mogul who only ever wanted to be a lone wolf is forced to take up a secure government job.

When she uses her knowledge of the future to secretly guide the neighborhood factory back to life and toward the Fortune Global 500,

Lu Huaibin, the former soldier king who once stood up for her against gossip, corners her in the office. His voice low, he says:

“Ling Chen, your journey leads to the stars and the sea. I just want to protect this home for you and Tongtong.”
