1990, Zhangjiatun.
The first thing Zhang Yu does after being reborn is tell the beautiful university student teaching in the village, "I'll take responsibility for you."
In his previous life, one moment of weakness ruined the college beauty's life. She gave birth to their child alone, was expelled from school and abandoned by her parents, scavenged for ten years, and finally fell ill in a hospital room at the turn of the millennium.
Heaven has given him another chance, and he vows to undo every regret.
But how can a poor country boy hope to marry a university student from Shanghai?
He splits from his family, prepares for exams, gathers medicinal herbs in the mountains, and sells flower buds in the county town...
While his uncle's family is still arguing over three acres of poor farmland, Zhang Yu has already saved his first pot of gold.
Relying on his memories of his previous life, Zhang Yu steadily builds up the capital he needs to make his way to Shanghai.
Years later, the people who once mocked him finally realize that the poor kid has long since become a top tycoon.
A project he casually invests in can unleash huge waves in the capital markets.
Several of his subsidiaries go public, growing into enterprises worth hundreds of billions.
Even senior provincial officials have to politely ask him to invest.
