Reborn in 1982, Lin Wanqiu opened her eyes and did the first thing that came to mind: tore up her engagement and kicked the gold-digger Zhang Jianjun in front of everyone!
In her previous life, she'd been too honest, letting this man manipulate her for years. She worked herself to the bone to pay for his education and help him marry into a wealthy family, only for him to dump her in the end. Her whole family suffered with her: her parents were bled dry by greedy relatives, her younger brother dropped out of school to work and endured endless bullying, and her little sister was married off early in exchange for a bride price. She died full of resentment, while the scumbag climbed the ranks, got rich, and lived the good life.
This time, she's wide awake, ruthless, and done pretending!
Her aunt tries to guilt-trip her? Lin Wanqiu talks back until she cries! Her second aunt shows up to take whatever she wants for free? Lin Wanqiu humiliates her in public! A jealous neighbor spreads rumors? Lin Wanqiu confronts her and sets the record straight! Her scumbag ex comes crawling back? Every time, she makes him the laughingstock!
Kicking a lousy man to the curb is just the appetizer. Making money is what matters. She sells goods at a street stall, trades fabric, and opens a clothing shop, seizing every opportunity the 1980s has to offer. She starts with a small business and soon becomes famous throughout town. Once she's made money, her family stands tall too: her parents stop being kind to a fault, her siblings excel at school, and the Lin family, once an easy target for everyone, becomes the richest household in the village!
What really makes her ex lose it is that the retired soldier who silently protected her in her previous life now takes the initiative to pamper her like a queen. She makes money and takes down scumbags at the same time. In this life, she'll reclaim every wrong she's suffered, tenfold, a hundredfold!
