After Becoming the Tycoon's Runaway Ex-Wife [1990s]

Growing up, Yun Zhao often heard her family talk about the man in their circle whom people could allude to, but never speak of openly.

They said he was powerful and immensely wealthy, that he was ruthless and never held back. They also said he had once been destitute, with a gravely ill father, a blind mother, and a younger brother to support. He had suffered endless abuse and climbed his way to the top over the bodies of others.

He had done so many bad things that Heaven had punished him, leaving him without a wife or children. Whenever her family brought him up, they warned Yun Zhao not to provoke him. He might devour her until not a single bone was left. She should stay as far away as possible.

Yun Zhao was fortunate enough to meet him once at a banquet. She accidentally tripped, and he caught her.

The man was nearly forty, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He had an extraordinary air about him, and time had barely left a mark on his face.

He helped Yun Zhao to her feet without saying a word, his gaze burning into her.

Remembering her parents' warnings, Yun Zhao fled in a panic.

When Yun Zhao woke up again that very day, she had traveled back to the 1990s and was living in that man's home.

At this point, he was penniless and destitute.

She was the daughter of a factory owner who had come to his home to hide after her father got into trouble. But she looked down on the poor and couldn't stand how dilapidated his home was. She had taken the money and was about to elope with the village chief's son...
