    I'm reading a novel set in the 1980s, and the system gives it a score of 80, which is seriously low, exceeding 95% of novels that score 9.5 on Tomato. The male lead is a soldier from a prominent family, young and promising. The female lead is reborn and awakens, going into business and politics—a very effective rebirth. She truly continues the mature and stable mindset gained from her rich life experience at the time of her death. She not only seizes the advantage of information but also learns from the lessons and experiences of her previous life, quickly resolving the huge problems caused by her family of origin, thus avoiding internal conflicts and quickly embarking on a leap forward in life! The female lead seizes the biggest economic dividend of the 1980s and decisively goes into business, and she doesn't miss the biggest learning dividend of the 1970s and 80s! It's learning. Although everyone's impression is that it was the biggest dividend period for academic qualifications, the essence was that my country at that time had a talent gap, and general cognition, technology, knowledge, and skills all needed improvement. Therefore, being good at learning was the biggest dividend at that time. So, almost all of those who went to university developed well, and many of those who dared to think, act, and keep up with the times also became wealthy! The female lead's golden finger is the convenience of learning! It might be considered a low-tier cheat code, but in the 1980s, it wasn't powerful enough! So, we see Zhang Cailian, a female protagonist who almost always grows at a high speed! Her approach to dealing with her family of origin, her way of handling interpersonal relationships and managing her company, her business logic, and so on, are all very inspiring.
