I Became a Fake Returned Overseas Tycoon in the 1980s?

After dying of illness, Mu Qinglan opens her eyes to find that she has become a fake tycoon who returned from overseas in the 1980s.

The abandoned factory buildings left behind by this con artist in the 1980s remained notorious unfinished construction projects in her hometown right up until she died in her previous life.

And after the truth came out, the con artist, an overseas Chinese, was soon deported to the United States, where he eventually died on the streets.

Realizing she could truly fall below the survival threshold at any moment, Mu Qinglan feels conflicted.

Fortunately, she has also bound herself to a Contrarian System. The stronger the contrast she creates for others, and the more she defies their expectations, the more chances she gets to draw prizes!

To stay in the embrace of her motherland, Mu Qinglan has no choice but to spend every day making waves.

And as she keeps at it, she discovers that she's become a genuine tycoon who returned from overseas.

Later generations of netizens even praise her as her motherland's military greatcoat!

In 1983, the people of Hulu Lane in Qinghan City would never forget this lively and explosive year.

First, the Mu family living at the entrance of the lane tries to pass themselves off as relatives of an overseas Chinese family, only to be exposed on the spot when they come face-to-face with the returned wealthy businessman.

Then it turns out that the Mu family at the far end of the lane are the ones the prosperous overseas Chinese had truly been looking for.

And the Mu family's fortunes soon soar.

Having lived again, Mu Qinglan has too many regrets she wants to change.

So in this life, her mother, who was disabled by an amputation after a workplace injury and laid off during the wave of redundancies, not only becomes a factory director but also revives the factory, turning it into a household-name clothing brand.

Her aunt, who was robbed of her university place and tricked into marriage by the man who harmed her, makes it to university and eventually becomes a renowned scholar in mathematics.

Her beloved grandmother finally gets to enjoy a peaceful old age as a happy little old lady.

And her father, who used to say every day that he wanted to lie flat but ended up sick all over from overwork, finally gets to become a happy stay-at-home dad!
