The Reborn Tough Guy of the Era, Bound by Fate to the Village Beauty

After China’s reform and opening up, the male lead, Liu Xingye, meets with an accident on his way to negotiate a business deal. His car rolls down a mountain. He sees a flash of golden light from the jade pendant on his chest, and suddenly he’s back in 1976, at the lowest point in his life.

The moment he opens his eyes, he feels a woman lying on top of him. When he makes out her face, he realizes it’s the village beauty, Lin Lin Qingyan. His Adam’s apple bobs as he tries to make sense of what’s happening, while Lin Qingyan’s little hands wander restlessly over his body.

He remembers something like this happening before. Back then, however, he was painfully insecure and afraid of hurting the girl he loved, so he left the room alone and went hunting in the back hills. By the time he returned at dawn, Lin Qingyan had disappeared.

This time, he doesn’t want to hold back. He pins her down and kisses the village beauty again and again, only to realize how real she feels. When he realizes it isn’t a dream, he jumps up in fright. Then he notices that someone has drugged Lin Qingyan, so he picks her up and carries her to the stream at the foot of the back hills.

The two of them soak in the water. The icy stream clears their heads, and only then does Liu Xingye realize he’s been reborn. Lin Qingyan sees herself in his arms and jumps in fright. She pushes him away, but the moment she lets go, she sinks beneath the water.

Liu Xingye quickly pulls her back up. “Are you clear-headed now? Let’s get out and talk!”

Lin Qingyan can’t swim, so she has no choice but to cling to Liu Xingye and let him carry her to the bank…

Their love story begins here, binding their fates together. In the end, Liu Xingye uses the memories of his previous life to lead his whole family to wealth and prosperity.
