[Period Setting + One Female Lead + Devoted Husband + Dad Life + Taking Down Vicious Relatives + Business Empire]
In 2024, Lin Fan, a tech tycoon worth hundreds of billions, died alone in a luxury hospital room.
He had all the wealth in the world, yet never married and had no children.
Because deep in his heart lay a raw, bleeding wound that had festered for forty years.
On a stormy summer night in 1983, his gambling addiction and his family's pressure drove his wife, Su Wanqiu, to drink pesticide in despair and leap into a freezing river with their three-year-old daughter.
The moment the heart monitor flatlined, Lin Fan's eyes flew open!
Before him was the drafty, broken wooden door. Outside stood his wife, raising a bottle of pesticide, while his daughter wailed.
"Bang!"
Lin Fan kicked the bottle away and clutched his wife and daughter tightly, tears streaming down his face. "Wanqiu, I was wrong! This time, I'll spoil you both rotten!"
When thugs came to his door demanding repayment, he grabbed their leader by the throat and sent him to prison!
When his selfish, exploitative mother and rotten older brother showed their true colors, he split the table in two with an axe and decisively cut ties with them!
Starting with catching eels in the river and refurbishing broken radios, Lin Fan took off in the gold-rush 1980s, riding the wave of the times!
While the relatives who once looked down on him were still struggling to afford a decent meal, Lin Fan was already driving a Mercedes-Benz and living with his wife and daughter in the biggest villa in the provincial capital.
"Wanqiu, I owed you a bride price back then. Today, I'll repay you with an entire business empire!"
