After the Capitalist Heiress Was Reborn, She Emptied the Family Fortune and Joined the Army

Sang Feiyu, a young woman from Yangcheng, is reborn in 1966, returning to the moment before her brutal murder in her previous life. In that timeline, her uncle Tao Jiaxing and cousin Tao Ronggui kidnapped and tortured her to death to extract the location of her parents' hidden inheritance, intending to flee to the United States. After her death, they used her corpse to blackmail her grandparents into handing over their wealth, only for the grandparents to destroy the family with homemade explosives in revenge. Upon waking bound in the basement, Sang Feiyu realizes she has been given a second chance and resolves to survive and exact revenge.

Recognizing that her cousin Tao Ronggui harbors deep resentment toward his older brother for being the favored heir, Sang Feiyu manipulates him by claiming she can help him inherit the fortune alone. She convinces him that his brother will leave him with nothing, appealing to his greed and insecurity. Tao Ronggui unties her, but once they are alone, Sang Feiyu strikes him down with a metal rod, ensuring he cannot betray her. She then systematically empties their home, using a mysterious spatial dimension she acquired from her father's pocket watch to store every valuable item, from cash and gold to household goods, leaving the Tao family with nothing.

Sang Feiyu then leads the authorities to the empty house, reporting that her uncle's family attempted to steal national property and flee the country. The Red Armbands arrest Tao Jiaxing, Liu Ying, and their daughters, subjecting them to interrogation. Meanwhile, Tao Ronghua, the eldest cousin who orchestrated the car accident that killed Sang Feiyu's parents, goes into hiding. He attempts to blackmail Sang Feiyu for money but is intercepted by her grandparents, retired veterans who rescue her and beat Tao Ronghua into a confession. The police and Revolutionary Committee then arrest Tao Ronghua for concealing state assets.

As the Tao family collapses, Sang Feiyu prepares for her own future by stocking up on supplies and ration coupons through her spatial ability. She also advises her classmate Ruan Xi, who is being abandoned by her father and stepmother, to denounce her family to the authorities to secure her own safety. The narrative follows Sang Feiyu as she navigates the political tensions of the era, using her foreknowledge and supernatural advantage to dismantle her enemies while protecting her parents' legacy from those who sought to steal it.
