The Eighties: I'll Just Wait and See When You Blow Your Cover

A sweet story about two people reborn in the same era. Enjoy!

An Zhaodi had to die once before she learned she was the sacrificial female character in a novel set in the 1980s. Her father never cared for her, her mother never loved her, and she missed the college entrance exam by accident. Forced to marry a fool far from home, she was tormented to death by her in-laws.

When An Zhaodi opened her eyes again, she was back in the 1980s, before the tragedy had begun.

She set herself a few goals:

First, change her name and live for herself.

Second, study hard and take the college entrance exam.

Third, stay away from awful relatives and avoid an unhappy life.

Fourth, make money. Lots of money. More money than she could count. Only money could make her feel secure.

Fifth, find someone who understands her and live happily together... Never mind, better cross that one out. Don't be too greedy.

An Zhaodi diligently worked through her goals and steadily built her fortune. Along the way, she even took in a helpless orphaned wanderer named Lin Ruyuan. She gave him food and a place to stay, then found him a job.

The wanderer proved himself more than capable. He could hold his own in the cutthroat business world and show off his skills in the kitchen. He was a money-making genius: there was no money he couldn't earn and no problem he couldn't solve.

An Zhaodi was very pleased, except...

Why did the wanderer's money-making ideas sound exactly like those of the male lead's uncle?

In his past life, Jiang Zhuolin had a secret crush on a girl who suddenly disappeared without a trace. He searched everywhere but couldn't find her. Reborn, he was determined to get to her early and shield her from every hardship.

An Zhaodi awkwardly asked, "Um, Ruyuan, do you have any other names?" Like Jiang Zhuolin, for instance.

Jiang Zhuolin lowered his eyes. "No."

"That's good." An Zhaodi relaxed. In the book, Jiang Zhuolin traveled the whole country searching for his missing crush. When he learned she had died, he fell gravely ill, then left all his assets to the male lead. What a tragic fate.

An Zhaodi said earnestly, "Never get so lovesick that you lose your head. Treasure your life, okay?"

"Mm."
