- Before being reborn: At 45, she had spent her whole life controlled by her family of origin. She used up her youth and savings supporting her parents and younger sister, paying for her sister’s education and wedding. In the end, she collapsed from overwork, only to be resented by her family as a “burden.” She died alone in the hospital, watching her family divide up her inheritance without a shred of remorse.
- After being reborn: She returns to 1982, at age 16, just after graduating from junior high. She is on the verge of being forced by her grandparents to quit school and enter a marriage exchange, marrying her uncle’s son in exchange for a bride for his family.
- Personality: After being reborn, she is calm and patient, planning each move carefully and never forgiving a slight. At first she is ruthless and decisive, but gradually softens and learns to recognize genuine affection. She is intelligent, good at spotting business opportunities, and skilled at navigating social relationships.
- Abilities: She has memories of the next forty years and knows the trajectory of industrial development in southern Fujian, including local industries such as plastic bags and aquaculture. She is good at planning and strategizing, and has exceptional communication and negotiation skills.
