After Splitting from the Family, I Settle by the Sea, and My Twins Help Me Fill My Baskets with Seafood

In 1977, in a fishing village somewhere in the South China Sea.

Because his family was dirt poor, his fiancée broke off their engagement in public.

To make matters worse, his biased mother seized the chance to cause trouble and assigned Lu Hai a ramshackle stone house at the end of the village, one that flooded whenever the tide came in.

On the day the family split up, a typhoon swept through. On the coastal rocks, Lu Hai rescued a pair of twin sisters from Shanghai, daughters of a capitalist family who had been persecuted because of their background and had jumped into the sea in despair.

Looking at the young women, their skin as white as snow and their bodies frail, worn down by the times until they were barely alive, the reborn Lu Hai decisively carried them home.

The villagers watched, ready to laugh at him. “He can barely feed himself, and now he’s taken in two delicate, big-eating beauties who can’t even do farm work?”

Lu Hai smiled.

In his previous life, he had been a top fishing-boat captain who ruled the open seas, as well as an international record-holder in freediving!

So what if he couldn’t farm? The sea was his cash machine! When the tide went out, while everyone else was still digging for clams, Lu Hai used his knowledge of the skies and currents to find prize blue crabs and giant spiny lobsters with his bare hands. He dived into the reefs, where top-grade black-lip abalone and century-old pearls were his for the taking!

While the villagers were still fighting over a few jin of sweet potato flour, the twin sisters were already eating seafood every day in Lu Hai’s stone house until they were sick of it, blossoming into pampered beauties.
