Reborn in 1990: From Farming to Fortune

[Rebirth + comeback + feel-good power fantasy + one heroine + urban farming]

In his previous life, Lin He was addicted to gambling. He sold the family estate to pay off his debts, causing his wife and daughter to die in misery. He ended his days alone. When he woke up, he had returned to that bitter winter of 1990. His house was bare, his wife and daughter were gaunt, and his creditors were at the door to take his cow. Seeing mysterious lines appear on his palm, Lin He swore he would never make the same mistakes again!

While others farmed just to scrape by, he farmed to mint money. [Instant Treasure Appraisal]: Wild ginseng beneath dead leaves and a selenium-rich spring beneath a rocky slope were all plain to see. [Awakening All Things]: Officials fought over his radishes as if they were fruit; the pigs he raised were immune to disease and had meat as white as snow; the soybeans he cultivated made international grain merchants beg for mercy!

Starting with a lease on a rocky slope everyone else had written off, Lin He built an agricultural empire that spanned the globe. A foreign-owned supermarket starts a price war? Sorry, I have a membership model, and my products can't keep up with demand! International giants try to monopolize seeds? Too bad, my seeds yield a thousand jin per mu, and they're made to put every skeptic in their place!

Years later, when Lin He stood onstage to accept the Forbes title of world's richest man, he gave the reporters a bashful smile. “I never wanted to be the richest man. At first... I just wanted to make sure my wife and child had enough to eat.”
