After His Father, a Sent-Down Youth from the Seventies, Was Reclaimed by a Wealthy Family

(My next novel, Reborn as a Little Reporter for a Hong Kong Tycoon in the 1990s, is now underway. Please add it to your favorites, and thank you so much!)

Blurb:

Gu Nian'an was fighting with her grandparents, aunt, and uncle, trying to drive them out of the villa her parents had left her, when a bolt of lightning struck her. She transmigrated back into her mother's womb, returning to 1977, and gained a golden finger that let her send dreams to her father.

While still in her mother's womb, Gu Nian'an sent her father a dream about his awful grandparents, who weren't his biological parents, and the awful relatives she'd fight twenty years later. Let Dad deal with them. She could lie back in comfort and win without lifting a finger.

Gu Mingcong had a dream. His parents sold off the wife he truly loved. He managed to get her back, but the ordeal threatened her pregnancy, and she had to stay in bed until the birth. Their precious little girl was born tiny and frail, breaking his heart.

Things happened just as they had in the dream. He rescued his wife in advance. Later, following the warnings from the dream, he found his biological family. Only then did he learn that his parents had sent him to join a rural production team at fifteen because his biological parents had returned. He looked too much like his biological father, and they were afraid he would be recognized, so they ordered him back to the countryside in his hometown.

His grandparents, aunt, and uncle back home treated him as if he'd been picked up off the street. He'd never understood why. He hadn't imagined that they truly wanted him dead to eliminate any future trouble, which was why, when he arrived in the countryside and developed a high fever, they refused to take him to the hospital.

It was his fellow educated youth, Nian'an's mother, also fifteen, who gathered medicinal herbs and saved him, trying whatever she could even when his chances seemed hopeless. After Nian'an's mother became pregnant with her, he had that dream, and his life began to go smoothly. He was able to take the college entrance exam, though he hadn't been allowed to before, and even got into Peking University. He kept the job he'd been destined to lose and was promoted all the way up.

The Gu family had produced generations of loyal heroes, yet their biological younger son was a scoundrel who befriended the enemy and even reported his own parents. Who could have guessed that his parents would one day be exonerated? People said, "So what if they're exonerated? Their biological son is useless and will drag them down sooner or later." They never imagined that the couple would find their biological son, a top scorer in the college entrance exam, who already had a wife and daughter.

Then people said, "So what if they have an outstanding son? That granddaughter of the Gu family is a jinx. She'll bring her parents to ruin and wipe out the whole family sooner or later." Little did they know that the little granddaughter was a lucky star. Her grandparents lived to a hundred, her parents' business thrived and their careers flourished, and even the friends and relatives close to the Gu family found their lives going better and better.

The Gu family's little granddaughter, Gu Nian'an, was spoiled rotten by the whole family. Everyone loved to hold her and say, "Our little lucky star!"

Gu Nian'an watched as her father sent her fake grandparents, aunt, and uncle to prison, protected the scientific research achievements that should have belonged to her, and reached even greater heights than in her previous life. He was healthy, elegant, and respected, protecting the whole family by himself. Gu Nian'an was content to keep coasting through life.

Reborn as a Little Reporter for a Hong Kong Tycoon in the 1990s

In the 1990s, competition was fierce in Hong Kong's newspaper industry. The newspaper run by the Ye family was on the verge of bankruptcy and being hounded by malicious creditors.

Seeing her younger brother trampled underfoot and her trembling younger sister, the reborn Ye Zhenzhen stepped forward and promised to repay the debt in three days.

The first time, the newspaper ran this explosive headline on its front page: "Shocking! The Eldest Miss of the Zhen Family Marries Her Second Young Lady's Fiancé for Love. Is This Tycoon Family's Scandal a Case of Moral Decay, or Is There More to the Story?"

The newspaper's sales soared, selling out all over Hong Kong. The enraged Zhen family sent thugs after them, but the thugs ran into trouble along the way. The newspaper and the Ye and Zhen families came through unharmed.

The second time, the newspaper's front-page headline was just as explosive: "Breaking! Rising Star of the Police Force, Famous for Solving Major Cases, Left in a Coma After Being Stalked by a Mysterious Figure. Who Is the Mastermind Behind It? The Truth Will Soon Be Revealed!"

The Zhou family, property magnates, swore they would buy the newspaper and stop the reporting. The barrister who went to negotiate met Ye Zhenzhen and changed his mind, speaking up for the Ye family instead.

The third time...

The fourth time...

Ye Zhenzhen was reborn. In her previous life, she feared the System and told her closest childhood friend about it. Her friend turned around and seized the System's bond, then married into a wealthy family. He drove his wife and eldest son to their deaths before marrying his beautiful young beloved first love.

Without the System, Ye Zhenzhen's investigative stories were threatened as soon as the truth reached the printing press. To keep her family safe, she couldn't publish them. Instead, she interned at a TV station and died having spent her life uncovering the truth without being able to report it.

After being reborn, bolstered by the System, Ye Zhenzhen published the truth, issue after issue. The newspaper turned its losses into profits and successfully went public.

People around town kept waiting to see when the Ye siblings at the newspaper, who had exposed so many truths and offended so many vested interests, would end up dead in the street.

They waited and waited. The younger brother, once a good-for-nothing, solved major cases one after another and rose to the rank of police superintendent. Her timid younger sister, once bullied by everyone, entered the legal profession and became a young judge. Ye Zhenzhen kept reporting the truth, won the award for best journalism, and became a rising star of the press whom no one could kill.

"Ye Zhenzhen, now that the truth is in your hands, do you dare report it?"

"These living, breathing people are worth less than a bottle of wine in the marketplace of crime and profit. Do you dare make it public?"

Faced with the truth laid bare, Ye Zhenzhen firmly promised the source, "I dare!"
