Eighty’s: Emptied the Family Fortune While Pregnant with Twins, The Heirless Hong Kong Tycoon Dotes on Me Madly

Li Yue, a modern woman who died from overwork, transmigrates into the body of a twenty-year-old girl in 1985 China. The original host, also named Li Yue, was forced into a marriage with the Lu family to repay a life debt owed by her father to the family patriarch, Lu Zhentao. Instead of marrying the patriarch or his son, she was married to his youngest grandson, Lu Xiao. For three months, she was treated as a servant, locked out of the marital bed, and abused by her mother-in-law, Li Shaohua, and sister-in-law, Lu Qing. The story begins with the Lu family locking the emaciated Li Yue in an attic to starve her into donating a kidney to Feng Jing, the widowed daughter-in-law of the deceased eldest son, Lu Nan. Feng Jing suffers from uremia, and the Lu family believes Li Yue is the only compatible donor.

Upon awakening, Li Yue absorbs the original host's memories and realizes her precarious position. Rather than submitting to her fate, she negotiates with Li Shaohua, demanding five thousand yuan for the kidney donation. This sum is exorbitant for a working-class family in 1985, but Li Shaohua agrees, planning to reclaim the money after Li Yue is incapacitated by surgery. During this confrontation, Li Yue discovers she has access to a supernatural Dimension: a monochrome, time-distorted replica of a commercial street from her modern life. She learns that she can unlock shops within this space by paying with Space Points, which are earned through transactions. This "Golden Finger" becomes her primary tool for survival and empowerment.

Li Yue agrees to the medical procedures but uses her Dimension to her advantage. She steals the signed donation agreement from the hospital office before the surgery can take place, realizing the Lu family would never honor their end of the bargain. When test results reveal that Li Yue has congenital heart disease and severe malnutrition, making her an unsuitable donor, the Lu family is forced to delay the surgery. The doctor insists Li Yue must recuperate and eat nutritious food, giving her leverage to demand better treatment. Li Yue publicly exposes the family's abuse by causing a scene outside their home, drawing the attention of neighbors and her father-in-law, Lu Jianguo, a deputy factory director concerned with his reputation.

Lu Jianguo attempts to dismiss Li Yue's claims as petty jealousy, but Li Yue continues to resist. She openly demands a divorce, which the Lu family initially accepts, believing she will agree to the surgery afterward. However, Li Yue has no intention of donating. Instead, she uses her Dimension to steal gold, cash, and jewelry from the Lu household, amassing significant wealth. She discovers that the Lu family, particularly Lu Jianguo and Li Shaohua, are deeply corrupt, hiding ill-gotten gains and maintaining a facade of virtue for professional advancement. Li Yue also learns that Feng Jing may not be Lu Qing's biological sister, adding another layer of deceit to the family dynamics.

As Li Yue gains confidence, she begins to turn the tables on her abusers. She refuses to perform household chores, eats well, and asserts her independence. Her relationship with Lu Xiao, the husband she was forced to marry, remains hostile; he views her resistance as manipulation and remains devoted to Feng Jing. Meanwhile, Lu Qing, who harbors ambitions to marry into a powerful political family, sees Li Yue as a rival and a tool for social climbing. Li Yue navigates these complex family dynamics while secretly building her fortune and planning her escape from the Lu family. The story follows her strategic maneuvers to secure her freedom, expose the family's hypocrisy, and utilize her supernatural ability to change her destiny in this new era.
