The 1970s: The Sea Queen Hauls in Ten Thousand Tons of Yellow Croaker

[Period setting + beachcombing + island fishing + strong female lead + building wealth]

Lin Wanqiu, a formidable executive in the deep-sea fishing industry, wakes up as an orphaned eldest sister in a fishing village on an island in the 1970s.

Her parents are dead, and her awful relatives are trying to seize the family’s property. They even want to sell her younger siblings for food?

Lin Wanqiu lets out a cold laugh, grabs a shoulder pole, breaks her uncle’s leg, and leaves with her siblings, moving into a shabby seaweed hut with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

No boat? Then she’ll start by beachcombing for overlooked treasures!

From the start, she binds herself to the “Sea God Affinity” System. While others find seaweed on the shore, she finds premium giant green crabs and splendid giant lobsters!

While others come back from fishing empty-handed, she hauls in a netful of yellow croaker, enough to fill a ten-thousand-ton cargo hold!

She buys a little wooden boat, upgrades to a large steel vessel, and builds a deep-sea fishing fleet.

In just two years, Lin Wanqiu becomes the biggest seafood magnate in the country.

Two years later, her mysterious fiancé, a powerful man based in Beijing, comes calling. “Honey, it’s time to come back to the capital with me and enjoy the good life.”

Lin Wanqiu points to the massive ship behind her. “I’ll go to Beijing, but only if I’m the one keeping you!”
