Beautiful Sister-in-Law, Peaceful Hong Kong [The 1980S]

Interstellar General Su Linlang wakes up one morning and finds herself back in 1980. The good news: She's become the daughter-in-law of the He family, the richest family in Hong Kong, and from the start she's the eldest daughter-in-law. The bad news: On their wedding day, her husband is kidnapped and her father-in-law is attacked. A joyous occasion turns into a funeral. Even worse, in 1980s Hong Kong, a tycoon can be the richest person in town one day and the most indebted the next. The big shots are jumping off rooftops one after another, and the He family is about to go broke. According to the original story, her mother-in-law sells off her antiques and stocks but gets swindled, losing the family fortune and turning gray overnight. Her husband barely survives and escapes the kidnappers' lair horribly maimed and blind. Su Linlang thinks: An eldest daughter-in-law should act like one. She chooses to take a two-meter-long machete and storm the kidnappers' hideout to rescue her husband herself. A few days later, the kidnappers run crying into the police station to turn themselves in. Her husband is rescued safely, and the He family's eldest daughter-in-law becomes famous after a single battle. Some time later... Her timid mother-in-law, cowed by Su Linlang, invests all her private savings in the mainland, and her net worth skyrockets in 1997. Her spoiled younger brother-in-law is so frightened of his sister-in-law that he flees north, only to become famous across the country by accident after making a movie. Her stuttering younger sister-in-law gradually finds her voice. She always takes her family's side, whether they're right or wrong, and becomes Su Linlang's perfect mouthpiece during arguments. And her husband, who should have been maimed and blind, not only grows more vigorous by the day, but is also gentle, considerate, and witty. Su Linlang can't bring herself to be harsh with him. He Puting, head of the He family, is shrewd and wolf-like in temperament. Even the glamorous Hong Kong pageant queens give him a wide berth. But everyone in Hong Kong knows his one weakness: he's henpecked!
