The 1990s were a time of surging change, with opportunity and danger side by side. At the peak of his success, business tycoon Chen Ran was betrayed and died, only to return to 1992, before any of the tragedies had happened. Back then, Cantopop and Mandopop hits played over magnetic-card payphones, and Phoenix bicycles carried the freshness of youth. But in his heart, he already held the pulse of the times and a blueprint for revenge. Facing the enemies from his past life, the vain and selfish campus beauty Lin Weiwei and the arrogant, overbearing son of a powerful family, Zhang Hao, he plans his moves with care and advances one step at a time. He makes decisive moves in booming industries like subscription warrants, clothing exports, real estate, and the internet, building a business empire of his own. At the same time, he recognizes at a glance the love he missed in his previous life: Su Jing, a resilient, graceful girl as lovely as a gardenia. He spends his life keeping his promise: protecting her, helping her grow, and facing every challenge by her side. This is an epic spanning decades, witnessing a man’s transformation from a lone wolf bent on revenge into a business leader, and telling the moving story of two lovers supporting each other and reshaping their destinies amid the tides of their times. Regrets lie buried in the old days, while glory fills the road ahead. In 1992, Chen Ran’s comeback and his vow to protect the woman he loves begin.
