[Period setting + reborn + face-slapping + master builder + female tycoon]
In her previous life, Su Wan was the youngest chief urban planner in the republic. She never married and spent her life pouring her heart and soul into building cities for others. But on the day a project was completed, her glory-hungry superior and her gold-digging fiancé joined forces to frame her, and she died with her name in disgrace.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in 1980. Weighing 160 jin, she was a chubby young woman everyone mocked, with her gold-digging boyfriend pointing at her and calling her “useless.”
That year, Beijing was still being rebuilt from the ground up, and its towering skyscrapers had yet to rise. But to her, not a single brick or tile was truly run-down. This was prime land within the Second Ring Road, a billion-dollar urban artery of the future, waiting to be discovered.
She emptied her savings and endured everyone’s scorn, spending 30,000 yuan on a dilapidated courtyard house that everyone else disdained. She knew that in the future urban plan, this place would be the irreplaceable heart of the capital.
Her family called her “a spendthrift.” When her scumbag boyfriend heard the news, he broke up with her that very night, pointing at the ruined courtyard and shouting, “Are you out of your mind? How much can this pile of junk possibly be worth?”
Su Wan quietly pushed open the rickety wooden gate and smiled as she looked at the weeds covering the ground.
It didn’t matter. In her last life, you destroyed my city. In this one, I’ll build my own business empire on this land.
You all know what happened after that.
When the gold-digging ex who had fled in the night came begging to get back together on his knees outside her company, Su Wan was standing atop the hundred-meter headquarters she had designed, surveying the entire city.
Beside her stood the man from one of the country’s foremost architectural families, who had been with her from the very beginning.
