1986: Starting with a Mute Wife

Carrying the heavy burdens of regret, Chen Yan is reborn into the year 1986. Living a second time, he harbors no earth-shattering ambitions, nor does he possess the capacity to become a titan of industry capable of summoning wind and rain. Dreams of stirring up global markets and conquering Wall Street are far beyond his grasp. Instead, he simply wants to live a grounded life and make the best of the days right in front of him—most importantly, to take meticulous care of his sweet, naive, mute wife, who suffered a devastating miscarriage in their past life. Only Chen Yan knows how agonizing the days were after losing both his wife and child. Thus, set against the backdrop of 1986, Chen Yan keeps his feet firmly on the ground, carving out a successful path in the county seat through farming and animal husbandry. Raising chickens, breeding pigs, and building greenhouses, he goes on to lease ponds, rent mountains, and plant orchards. Utilizing the fragmented, everyday experience he accumulated across various industries from his past life, he inadvertently achieves a form of dimensional reduction—outclassing his peers in this era. This is a story featuring no forced conflicts, no frustrating antagonist tropes, and swift resolutions to problems, written by an author with genuine firsthand agricultural experience.
