Reborn in the Eighties: From Hunting and Fishing to a Thousand-Acre Ranch

Li Xiangyang, burdened with endless regret, is reborn into 1980—back to the vast grasslands of eastern Inner Mongolia. But his second chance begins with a disaster: the worst blizzard in a century is coming, his father is bedridden from a bad fall, and greedy relatives are scheming to seize the family’s property. Faced with this crushing start, Xiangyang vows to change his old ways and strike back with a iron will. Armed with his knowledge of the future, the hunting and fishing skills he honed in his previous life, and a reborn man’s uncanny luck, he prepares a month ahead—stockpiling supplies for the snowstorm and turning a tidy profit. He ventures into the mountains to hunt elk, wild boar, and gazelle to put food on the table; dives into frozen lakes for prized sturgeon and a giant century-old catfish; and scours the prairie for rare medicinal herbs. Step by step, he rises from a penniless young herder to the owner of a thousand-acre ranch. This time, he honors his parents, unites his brothers, cherishes his wife and children, and stands firm against scheming relatives and tyrannical bullies. No longer the timid, good-for-nothing drifter he once was, he becomes a calm, wise man of means—respected by all. And this time, he is not alone: he has his loving parents, his steadfast brothers and sisters-in-law, a devoted wife and children, and a loyal circle of brothers who would go through fire for him.
