Eighties Coastal Foraging: I’ll Make My Ex-Wife a Tycoon

Back in 1982, He Tingchao entered into a "fake marriage" and then a "fake divorce" with three helpless girls so they could get household registration.

In his previous life, his cowardice and avoidance led to his ex-wives and five adopted children dying in a typhoon, a pain that even becoming a trillionaire could never make up for.

Given a second life, he looked at the whole family, crammed into a leaky thatched hut and gaunt from hunger, then bound himself to the "Deep Blue Atlas System" and plunged into an undeveloped stretch of golden coastline!

While others dug for clams, he pried up prized single-headed abalone. While others netted small fish, he hauled up century-old brocade lobsters. While others feared the reefs, he dove into the deep sea in search of treasure ships!

Before he knew it, He Tingchao had built an ocean-going empire that shocked the world.

And the three ex-wives who had never left his side underwent dazzling transformations:

The eldest became the queen of seafood processing, the second monopolized the country's cold-chain logistics, and the third became a leading marine biologist.

The five adorable children followed close behind every day, asking, "Dad, are we going to catch a great white shark in the sea today?"
