After a lifetime of hard work, Chen Jianjun lies alone in a cold hospital bed, with no one to ask after him.
His mind keeps replaying everything that happened in his life.
In the first half of his life, he drained his parents' savings to please his wife, subsidizing her greedy family. His parents were worn down by the burden and died of exhaustion.
His siblings watched him support his wife's family without limits. After their parents died, they cut off contact with him completely.
Chen Jianjun didn't care about any of that. He worked himself to the bone and struggled to earn money because he wanted a better life for his wife and child. He thought that if he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his wife, she wouldn't betray him.
But in the end, Chen Jianjun discovers that his wife had been cheating on him while he was away working, and the son he'd treated as his own wasn't even his.
He opens his eyes and finds himself back in 1990, on the very day their families agree to the engagement and his family is pressured into paying an exorbitant bride price.
This time, Chen Jianjun finally sees clearly. He breaks off the engagement in front of everyone, severing this bottomless, bloodsucking relationship!
With thirty years of future memories in hand, he sees where the times are headed.
He trades in scarce goods, takes over shops, and seizes opportunities before they pass, building a fortune from nothing, step by step.
He keeps his distance from the snobbish and shuts down greedy relatives, while protecting the parents who worked themselves to the bone and the siblings who truly care about him.
By chance, he meets a gentle, kind woman who sincerely cares for him, and the two of them work hard together.
The tide of the 1990s surges onward. The poor boy everyone once looked down on carves out a fortune with his own two hands. His family is safe and well, his beloved is by his side, and a life of splendor is his to enjoy!
