Reborn in 1987

After having a few too many drinks at his ex-girlfriend's wedding banquet, Li Dongsheng went home and transmigrated, reborn in the body of a hopeless gambler named Li Tiezhu. Faced with his terrible new reputation, Li Dongsheng's first priority after being reborn is to buy back Li Tiezhu's ancestral home, which is about to be seized over an unpaid loan. He has landed in an era where gold is everywhere. In his previous life, Li Dongsheng had always coasted along, waiting for death. He knows only the broad strokes of history, with no practical experience to put that knowledge to use. A few words of persuasion are enough to turn the person he owes money to into a business partner. Disposable chopsticks are about to catch on in China, instant noodles are still in their infancy, and the future business magnates are only just getting started. All of these will become stepping stones for Li Dongsheng's rise.
