Jiang Liyun had always wanted to be a wealthy person since she was young. Although she had a difficult early life, she later worked hard and managed to amass a fortune worth billions. However, she married the wrong person and was left partially paralyzed by a scoundrel. If it weren’t for Feng Yi, who grew up with her and never left her side, taking care of her, she might not have survived.
But even Feng Yi passed away early.
Her life was full of regrets.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in 1987, the day after she went on a blind date with the scoundrel. At this time, she was young and vibrant, and there were countless business opportunities waiting for her to explore in this land she lived in.
This time, whether it was marriage or career, she would succeed smoothly!
***
After her rebirth, Jiang Liyun rejected the scoundrel and sighed as she looked at Feng Yi, her neighbor, who was thin and frail. The Feng Yi who had taken care of her properly in her previous life and could effortlessly carry her, now looked like a bamboo pole. What could she do? She could only work hard to make him strong.
***
Feng Yi’s father passed away early, and his mother remarried. Among the five children in the family, he was the least cared for. Except for Jiang Liyun living next door, no one paid attention to him. His biggest dream was to marry Jiang Liyun, and if he couldn’t marry her, he was willing to spend his whole life following her. From one day onwards, Jiang Liyun started feeding him…
Feng Yi was so happy he was about to faint.
***
Everyone in the village knew that the Feng family wouldn’t arrange a marriage for Feng Yi, the “useless” one, so he was destined to remain a bachelor for life. However, Feng Yi “married” himself off, to the third daughter of the Jiang family. As the third daughter of the Jiang family became wealthier and wealthier, he became the most envied man.
Reading Guide: The female lead is reborn and gradually becomes wealthy starting from selling, with family stories included.
Surprisingly, I haven't seen many reviews mentioning the unusual dynamic between the ML and FL, where the FL, a 50+ soul trapped in a 20-something-year-old body, is in a relationship with a 19-year-old ML. Her maturity is evident in her actions and dialogue, often treating the ML as if he were younger. It's odd how she doesn't seem to perceive him as a peer. Can you imagine the reverse scenario, with a 50+ ML pursuing a 19-year-old FL?
In summary, if you're seeking a romance-focused story, this might not be your cup of tea. However, if you're looking for a casual read or want to learn about China's economy during the late 80s and early 90s, it could serve that purpose.
The story itself is enjoyable, and I particularly admire the FL's practical approach. She focuses on financial success rather than seeking revenge, which sets her apart from the typical重生 female leads who tend to be overly sentimental even at a middle-aged mental age. I would love to see a more accurate translation to fully appreciate the story.
