Rebirth: Bluffing His Way to the Top to Save His Beloved Wife

In 1976, Lu Ziang finds himself given a second chance at life, waking up in the Qingliu Production Brigade just as his background is being aggressively investigated. In his past life, his rigid honesty led to public humiliation, political persecution, and a tragic fate for his beloved wife, Tang Xiaonan, who suffered a devastating end alongside their unborn child. This time, Ziang refuses to be a victim. Armed with nothing more than an empty bottle of premium Moutai and sheer audacity, he bluffs his way into claiming elite political connections, instantly shifting the power dynamics and neutralizing his tormentors. Yet he knows a deception can only buy him time. To truly protect Xiaonan, secure a coveted spot back to the city, and prepare for the eventual reinstatement of the national college entrance examinations, he must rely on sharp intellect, foreign languages, and relentless ambition. From a struggling educated youth to a scholar at Peking University, and eventually through the turbulent worlds of literature, commerce, and technological revolution, Ziang embarks on an epic journey to claw his way out of the mud and win back everything he lost with interest.
