The Rich Returnee of the 1980S

My next book will be The Male Lead Binds to the Virtuous Husband System [The 1970s]. Please add it to your collection, mwah~ [Main story complete, bonus chapters updating] The pacing in chapters 31-35 isn't great, and they're overly slice-of-life, so feel free to skip them. Ming Li transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character in a novel set in a bygone era. She was the younger sister who went missing from the military wife living next door to the female lead. At ten, she followed her uncle to the United States illegally. Unexpectedly, she awakened the memories of Ming Li, a financial PhD from the 21st century in a parallel timeline. She was lucky enough to catch the eye of a wealthy Chinese American woman, win the competition to become her heir, and inherit billions. In the early 1980s, Ming Li, worth tens of billions of dollars, returned to a China that was just beginning to rebuild, without a moment's hesitation, and forged a business empire under the name Liuli. As a Chinese businesswoman, she rose to the top of the Forbes global rich list. Lin Yuelan, the original female lead of the novel, was supposed to have a difficult and winding path to success. But after she latched onto the rich younger sister of the military wife next door, her story took a completely different turn. When she sought investment and was given a hard time by American capitalists: Original: She bore the humiliation, made careful plans to sign the agreement, and poured her heart and soul into a brilliant comeback. Reality: "A Li, I've got a project here. Want to take a look?" When her funds were tied up and she needed tens of thousands of yuan to stay afloat: Original: Her competitors took advantage of her troubles, mocked her at a drinking party, and her family failed to understand. Only with her husband's support did she manage to get through it. Reality: Ming Li: "The project we're working on together is short on funds. I'll put in another hundred thousand dollars. Will that be enough?" Lin Yuelan: Sigh, it's not that I didn't stand my ground. She just offered too much! Mu Chen was a standard omega in the interstellar ABO era. He could fight on the battlefield and cook in the kitchen, with refined good looks and a virtuous nature. After an accident, he traveled to Blue Star in the 1980s and fell in love at first sight with Ming Li, the person who saved his life. Together, they began a storybook romance that everyone envied. Please note: 1. This is an alternate-history setting with many original elements. 2. This isn't a conventional career-focused wish-fulfillment story. It's more about everyday family life, lighthearted and fluffy, so please don't get hung up on historical accuracy. - My next book will be The Male Lead Binds to the Virtuous Husband System [The 1970s]. Ji An'an used to be known as the well-behaved girl in the military residential compound: pretty, sweet, and good at school. But a week ago, her mother died unexpectedly. At her father's matchmaking dinner, Ji An'an furiously flipped over the heavy wooden table and kicked in the sturdy front door. Her expression fierce, she said: "I forgot to tell you all, I'm super strong. If anyone wants to test that, why not come to the Ji family and try being my stepmother?" Her father, the eager candidates for stepmother, the matchmaker with a frozen smile, and their friends and guests watching from the sidelines: "..."

Ji An'an led her child husband away and promptly settled him in the room next to hers. Her father, so furious he could barely breathe: "..." Everyone else in the compound thought Ji An'an had gone crazy because she couldn't accept her mother's death. They figured the rest of her life was ruined.
