Clear-headed, money-minded entrepreneur VS older, love-struck professor
Zhu Ying, founder of a modern home furnishings brand and worth tens of millions, died from overwork at her desk after staying up late.
When she opened her eyes again, she had landed in the 1980s.
After transmigrating, Zhu Ying did two things: she worked hard to get healthy and enter university, and she married her father off into a rich family so he could live off his new wife.

At the time, opportunity was everywhere.
Having spotted a promising business opportunity early, Zhu Ying decided to start a business while attending school, returning to her old trade: selling furniture.
She started with a street stall, selling rattan chairs. In just one summer, she earned her first fortune and became a ten-thousand-yuan household.
She seized the opportunities of the era, rented a factory, opened a brick-and-mortar store, attended the Canton Fair, and set up her own factory. Upon graduation, she bought a courtyard house outright.
The country urgently needed foreign currency?
Then it was time to export furniture.
Adjustable desks, folding chairs, rotating all-in-one mirrors... She put them all on sale, and orders poured in as soon as they launched!
Foreign buyers lined up to place orders. Shipment after shipment of exports worth millions crossed the seas, bringing back shiploads of advanced machinery, energy and transport equipment, and precision instruments.
One of the Top Ten Foreign Exchange-Earning Enterprises, an Outstanding Export Earner, China's youngest self-made female billionaire, furniture mogul, author of The Four Rivals (Complete in Four Volumes)... All became labels attached to her name.
Zhu Ying: Turns out, having a husband who brings good fortune to his wife makes building a career so much easier!
Xie Yanqiao: A female entrepreneur belongs with an elegant professor. We're perfect for each other!
(There is a couple, but no poverty-relief plot. The career-focused heroine is all about making money and serving her country, while the love-struck hero focuses on balancing family and work.)
