As he lay dying, Shi Hao remembered his younger self and felt his teeth grind with anger.
In his previous life, he was an idle troublemaker who relied on his youthful energy to stir up trouble. His gentle, virtuous wife scrimped and saved, and even after a car accident left her with a broken leg on her way home, she still had to support the family. Their son endured the scorn of his classmates, who mocked him, saying it made no difference whether he had a father or not. Even as his wife lay dying, she urged Shi Hao to raise their son into a success. She passed away full of regret, leaving him to struggle through the rest of his life alone.
He opens his eyes and finds himself reborn in the 1980s, on a small fishing boat by the sea. They have an earth-walled house, and for now his wife and child are safe. There is still time to change every tragedy in his life.
Determined to turn over a new leaf, he takes responsibility for supporting his family and heads out to sea to make a living. He unexpectedly catches a priceless golden-butter crab in a rocky area, and at that very moment activates a daily-draw Super Lucky Wheel System.
The wheel refreshes with a random item every day. He uses its lucky power to gather seafood and support his family, with amazing supplies up for grabs at every turn.
He goes beachcombing with the rising tide, finding basket after basket of valuable seafood in abundance. When the tide falls, he goes home to do the housework and show consideration for his wife in matters big and small.
The fishing village’s neighbors help one another and treat each other with sincerity. There are few pointless melodramatic feuds, and every corner is full of the warmth of everyday life.
Little by little, he saves enough to renovate their earthen house, add furniture, and make sure there’s meat on the table. He refuses to entertain relatives who are always looking for a bargain, and protects his wife and child so they can live in peace.
He spent half a lifetime struggling in his previous life and wronged his family. In this life, he will make it up to them many times over, devoting a lifetime of tenderness to healing every hurt and sorrow and leaving no regrets.
In this life, he will stay by his family’s side and turn their hard life into one of prosperity and happiness.
