In the Land of the Beautiful: I Deceive All the Best Minds for My Country!

[Period setting + urban farming + hardcore headhunting + patriotism + possessive yandere + maximum satisfaction + slow pace]

Long Aotian, a financial district hustler from the 21st century, gets sent flying back to the 1980s by a truck. He wakes up as the whole village's great hope: a top mechanical engineering student studying in the United States!

Disaster strikes from the start!

What is aerodynamics? What is the second law of thermodynamics?

Staring at a blackboard full of incomprehensible writing, Long Aotian's vision goes dark. “Damn it, I can't even fake it! I'm just a useless finance guy who's good at scams and swindles!”

In despair, he sobs as he calls his former principal back home: “Principal, I've failed the country. I've forgotten everything!”

The old principal is horrified, thinking that this promising patriot has been corrupted by capitalism. He's just about to comfort him and tell him to come home.

But Long Aotian wipes away his tears and flashes a crazed, yandere smile. “Principal, if what the country needs is advanced knowledge, does it really matter whose brain that knowledge is in?”

The old principal: “Huh? I feel like something's gone off track...”

As the foundations of domestic agriculture, light industry, and heavy industry begin to grow at a breakneck, farm-like pace, the old principal ponders the steady stream of “talent orders” in his hands.

Long Aotian stirs up financial storms overseas, using money, traps, psychological warfare, and even threats and inducements to forge a madcap path to “saving the country by unconventional means”!

“You're a top talent? Great, you belong to China now. Won't agree? I'll make you go bankrupt and ruin your reputation until you're on your knees begging me for a plane ticket to Beijing.”, Long Aotian.
