Reborn in the 80s: My Sweet Puppy Boyfriend Knows How to Spoil Me

Lin Wan, a fashion designer from the 21st century, is unexpectedly reborn in 1982 as a young woman who has just returned to the city after being sent to the countryside.

Armed with memories of her past life, she knows this decade will be a golden age of reform and opening up: selling socks at a street stall can make you rich, trading in jeans can build a fortune, and opening a restaurant can bring in mountains of money.

When she gets home, she discovers she is the apple of the family's eye. Her parents dote on her, her younger siblings cling to her, and even Gu Chen, the neighbor's son who has just finished his college entrance exams, has secretly had a crush on her for years. He follows her around every day, helping her move things and covering for her. If anyone bullies her, he is ready to take them on.

At first, Lin Wan thinks she is three years older than Gu Chen and that a romance between them would never work. But she cannot resist how good this puppy-like male lead is at winning her over: he helps her claim a market stall, shields her from awful relatives, buys her new clothes with his very first earnings, and snaps back whenever anyone accuses her of robbing the cradle.

With the memories from her past life and a small portable pocket dimension, Lin Wan starts out selling knitwear at a street stall, then gradually opens a clothing store and a restaurant, and even gets into wholesale goods. She lifts her whole family out of poverty and into a comfortable life, and helps her younger siblings get into college.

Along the way, she gives her greedy aunt a taste of her own medicine, takes on competitors trying to steal her business, and solves all kinds of family problems. Her relationship with Gu Chen grows deeper too. After getting into college, he helps run her business while studying, then proposes as soon as he graduates. Their wedding is the envy of the whole neighborhood.

In the end, Lin Wan becomes a well-known local businesswoman. She and Gu Chen have a son and a daughter, and their happy, loving family becomes the dream couple everyone in the 1980s envies.
