At the age of seventy, billionaire Chen Haisheng took his last breath in an empty villa.
Even all his billions couldn't bring back his younger siblings, who had died tragically.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in 1978.
His younger brother hadn't gone out to sea yet, and his younger sister hadn't been sold off to an old bachelor by their second aunt. There was still time to change everything.
He'd spent his previous life as a coward. This time, Chen Haisheng smashed open the ancestral hall in front of everyone and forced the clan elders to oversee the division of the family.
Even if all he got was a leaky shack, a rotten sampan, and half a sack of moldy sweet potatoes, he would take his siblings and leave that family that devoured its own!
Though he was so poor he could barely afford a meal, Chen Haisheng brought home a girl as thin as a rail.
He also rescued an injured osprey that the fishermen considered an ill omen.
The entire village laughed at him for being crazy.
No one knew that the girl could read and write, weave nets, dry seafood, and read the tides. She was the perfect partner. The osprey could track schools of fish, find seafood, and warn of storms.
Other people relied on luck when they went out to gather seafood. Chen Haisheng seemed to have an all-seeing eye.
Selling seafood, raising pearls, building fish farms, buying fishing boats, setting up cold storage...
Starting with a broken sampan, he rode the tide of reform and opening up to build a maritime empire of his own.
In this life, he would keep his family safe and his lovely wife by his side, and turn the whole sea into his golden fishing ground!
