A Comeback in the ’80S: Pretend Romance, Real Bride

Reborn fifty years in the past, Wu Yi found himself back at the beginning of that nightmare. His older brother, Wu De, the factory director, patted his shoulder with a smile that concealed a knife. “Good little brother, once this sham marriage is taken care of, you’ll definitely get one of the factory apartments!” Wu Yi acted meek on the surface, but sneered inwardly: In my last life, you used me until I was dead. You still think you can use me as a stepping stone this time? If you’ve set up a fake romance, don’t blame me for making it real. Quit calling her that. She’s my wife!

Bribes, framing by his corrupt accomplices, and beauty traps came one after another… Wu Yi: “I’m not just going to become factory director. I’m going to ride the wave of opening up and build an industrial empire of my own!” But why was that kindhearted woman starting to look at him so strangely?
