Back to 1984: Breaking Ties, Rising as an Industrial Titan

In his past life, Lin Chen was framed by his malicious stepmother and forced by his biased father into a dangerous coal mine. After thirty years of grueling labor, his business partner betrayed him, and he died in despair. But fate grants him a second chance—he opens his eyes in 1984, right at the moment he is being falsely accused of theft. Faced with his hysterical stepmother's accusations, his stepbrother's planted evidence, and his father's willful blindness, Lin Chen chooses to fight back without hesitation. He slaps the stepmother across the face, catches the real thief red-handed, and tears apart the hollow pretense of family loyalty. Taking his younger siblings, he walks out with nothing—severance for good. Then Lin Chen awakens the [Industrial Relic System]. Armed with his past life's mastery of advanced industrial restoration and the system's god-tier assistance, he starts small: repairing diesel engines for the local commune to earn his first capital. Soon he advances to crafting precision machine tools from scratch, breaking foreign technological monopolies one by one. He builds a thriving business, raises his siblings into elites of their generation, and secures a place on national television. When Lin Chen becomes a celebrated industrial giant, gracing the front pages of CCTV and major newspapers, his estranged father, stepmother, and their family are left kneeling in regret, weeping for the son they cast away.
