Su Li: Reborn, all I want is to stay alive and make money!

On her wedding night in 1981, Su Li, a country girl, was drugged by her husband, Zhou Hechuan, who nearly handed her over to a lecherous factory director in exchange for a promotion. She escaped for her life and jumped into a river, where she was rescued by Duan Qixiao, a young heir from Beijing’s elite who had been sent to experience life in the countryside. Through a twist of fate, they spent the night together.

After discovering she was pregnant, Su Li headed south to Pengcheng that very night. Five years later, she had gone from working a sewing machine to becoming the millionaire “Boss Su,” thanks to her sheer grit and modern-day aesthetic. She also had a genius little darling by her side.

Zhou Hechuan thought she was dead. Using the promotion he’d gained by selling his wife, he married the factory director’s daughter, but he regretted it so deeply that he went mad with remorse in his countless midnight hours.

At an investment conference, the down-and-out factory director Zhou Hechuan was shocked to discover that the female billionaire in the seat of honor was his “dead wife.” He tried to take her fortune and snatch her child. Then Duan Qixiao surrounded the venue with an armed company of soldiers. “You think you can touch my wife and child, Duan Qixiao’s?”

Zhou Hechuan’s eyes were bloodshot. “Su Li, I was wrong…”

Su Li sneered. “Director Zhou, call me President Su.”

Duan Qixiao’s gaze darkened. “Call her Mrs. Duan.”
