The Eighties’ Poor Little Girl: Starting a Business at the Street Stalls

(A strong female lead, with a focus on her career. The male lead appears relatively late.)

Liu Ye, a modern-day office drone, transmigrates to the 1980s and becomes a pitiful girl sold to traffickers by her unscrupulous father. Penniless and all alone, she is fortunate to have an uncle in Shencheng she can rely on.

After arriving in Shencheng to seek refuge with her uncle, Liu Ye sees fashionable trendsetters all over the city, sporting perms, aviator sunglasses, bell-bottoms, and pointed shoes.

Riding the wave of economic development, Shencheng is already taking shape as a "fashion capital."

Liu Ye seizes the opportunities of the era, starting with the simplest hair accessories and building a business from nothing until it grows into an empire.

With her forward-thinking sense of style, every piece of clothing, every shoe and bag she designs sells out as soon as it hits the market.

She becomes Shencheng's undisputed fashion leader.

In time, this fashion wave flows from Shencheng to Hong Kong, then to Europe and the rest of the world.

And so, a fashion legend is born.
