The author has paused this story and doesn't plan to continue for now. Something just feels off.
Even though nobody's reading, here's a warning: if you wandered in by mistake, little cutie, don't read this. It's abandoned.
In her previous life, Zeng Xixi was blind and foolish, supporting a scumbag who eventually ended up behind bars. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to seven years earlier. She took a suitcase of dowry worth tens of millions and eloped with the scumbag. And there was a whole roomful of suitcases like it back in her hometown. She was rich!
She wanted to get off the train, but in the opposite lower berth lay a notorious bandit who wouldn't be executed for another two years. There was also a six-foot-three, burly man tailing her, and the adoptive brother who had loved her in her past life but could never have her.
Zeng Xixi: ...

Zeng Xixi returned home with her handsome adoptive brother, who had dropped his disguise.
Her eldest brother, a political commissar in the military region, her sister-in-law, a hospital department head, her second brother, director of the Finance Department, and her third brother, captain of an armed police unit, all agreed she had been fooled by men because she lacked good judgment. They planned to bring in several truckloads of outstanding young people from every profession for her to meet.
Well, what a coincidence.
Zeng Xixi had bound herself to an investment system. She had originally planned to hook a boyfriend, raise his affection points, and stay alive. But after suffering enough from love, she found another path to investment: buy shares in her boyfriends' companies, become a major shareholder, and secure her survival the hard way.
The "Young Progressives' Exchange" her family held for her was, more or less, a selection of the best prospects vetted by the state: the perfect stock portfolio.

The 1990s were full of opportunities. Before long, Zeng Xixi had become the "angel investor" of an investment incubator, adored by everyone.
"System, can I live to be 99?"
"Absolutely. You could even live to 999."
Zeng Xixi: ...
Maybe not. Cheng Qidong, who took even better care of his skin than she did, was crying his eyes out in the bathroom.
