Reborn in the 90s: Protecting Fan

In his previous life, Zhang Ran lived a mediocre and cowardly existence, watching helplessly as his beloved Luo Fan was deceived by the smooth-talking scumbag He Cheng. She wasted her life, suffered greatly, and died with regret; while he, stuck in a machinery factory, missed all the opportunities of the 1990s, was laid off in middle age, and died in a cold rented room filled with remorse. Now reborn, he returns to the turning point of 1992, before the tragedy occurs and before the scumbag confesses his love. This time, Zhang Ran sheds all weakness, becomes iron-willed and decisive. He tears off He Cheng's mask, prevents the ill-fated relationship, and quits his stable job to start from a street stall, seizing the era's opportunities in manufacturing and trade. Ruthless to enemies, gentle to her, his heart belongs only to one person. Amid the turbulent 1990s, he defies fate to protect Luo Fan, ensuring her peace and happiness for a lifetime.
