In the bitter winter of 1980, Lin Wanqiu drew her last breath in the icy river. Her stepsister had pushed her in, a scumbag had swindled her out of her family’s fortune, and her father had misunderstood and despised her. Her life had become a complete joke. When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn at eighteen, on the very day she was pushed into the river!
This time, her fists were clenched and her gaze was icy. She would make everyone who had wronged her in her past life pay double!
Her stepsister wanted to steal the compensation money? Lin Wanqiu produced evidence first, leaving her to fail miserably. The scumbag wanted to cozy up to her? She tore off his hypocritical mask in front of everyone and crushed his hopes. Drawing on her memories of the future, she seized the opportunities of the era: trading scarce goods on the black market, secretly raising rabbits for extra income, and opening the town’s first stall at the agricultural market. Step by step, she made a fortune and kept her family safe.
Gu Tingzhou, the demobilized soldier the whole village regarded as a “troublemaker,” always showed up when she needed him most: shielding her from harassment and keeping petty bullies at bay. Beneath his silent protection lay a burning affection.
“From now on, I’ll protect you.” When he shielded her from the storm, Lin Wanqiu suddenly understood: in this life, she wanted not only revenge and prosperity, but also the warmth she deserved.
Amid the surging tides of the era, she took down the fake sweethearts and kicked the scumbags to the curb. With the right man at her side, she built a life everyone envied.
