Description
Jiang Liyun had always wanted to be a wealthy person since she was young. Although she had a difficult early life, she later worked hard and managed to amass a fortune worth billions. However, she married the wrong person and was left partially paralyzed by a scoundrel. If it weren’t for Feng Yi, who grew up with her and never left her side, taking care of her, she might not have survived. But even Feng Yi passed away early. Her life was full of regrets. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in 1987, the day after she went on a blind date with the scoundrel. At this time, she was young and vibrant, and there were countless business opportunities waiting for her to explore in this land she lived in. This time, whether it was marriage or career, she would succeed smoothly! *** After her rebirth, Jiang Liyun rejected the scoundrel and sighed as she looked at Feng Yi, her neighbor, who was thin and frail. The Feng Yi who had taken care of her properly in her previous life and could effortlessly carry her, now looked like a bamboo pole. What could she do? She could only work hard to make him strong. *** Feng Yi’s father passed away early, and his mother remarried. Among the five children in the family, he was the least cared for. Except for Jiang Liyun living next door, no one paid attention to him. His biggest dream was to marry Jiang Liyun, and if he couldn’t marry her, he was willing to spend his whole life following her. From one day onwards, Jiang Liyun started feeding him… Feng Yi was so happy he was about to faint. *** Everyone in the village knew that the Feng family wouldn’t arrange a marriage for Feng Yi, the “useless” one, so he was destined to remain a bachelor for life. However, Feng Yi “married” himself off, to the third daughter of the Jiang family. As the third daughter of the Jiang family became wealthier and wealthier, he became the most envied man. Reading Guide: The female lead is reborn and gradually becomes wealthy starting from selling, with family stories included.

My Thoughts on Starting With Selling in the 1980s
"Starting With Selling in the 1980s" is a completed rebirth novel that I found to be a decent read overall, though it definitely has its quirks. The premise of a woman reborn into the 1980s to capitalize on her modern knowledge intrigued me, and while the execution wasn't perfect, it kept me entertained enough to see it through to the end.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a pragmatic female lead. I wasn't disappointed! She's focused on building a business empire and doesn't get bogged down in petty revenge plots, which is a refreshing change of pace. The story starts strong, setting the stage for her entrepreneurial journey.
What Works Well
The pacing is generally well-done, with time skips that feel natural and make the MC's success believable. I appreciated that the story emphasizes the hard work and dedication required to achieve her goals. The slice-of-life aspects are also enjoyable, painting a vivid picture of life in China during that era. I found the family dynamics interesting, and while not perfect, the MC's family members have their own redeeming qualities. The male lead is a sweet, supportive character, though he largely takes a backseat to the FL's ambitions.
Areas of Concern
One of the biggest issues I encountered was the translation quality. There are inconsistencies in character names and pronouns, which can be confusing at times. Some plot points felt underdeveloped, and the ending felt somewhat rushed, as if the author had lost interest in exploring certain storylines. The romance is definitely not a central focus, and the relationship between the FL and ML can feel a bit one-sided, with the FL taking the lead in almost everything. The lack of depth in the ML's character outside of his devotion to the FL was a bit disappointing. Also, some topics were addressed in a way that felt superficial and poorly researched, which detracted from the overall experience.
Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Starting With Selling in the 1980s" is an enjoyable read for those looking for a business-focused rebirth novel. If you can overlook the translation issues and aren't expecting a deeply romantic story, you might find yourself entertained by the MC's journey from poverty to wealth. It's a solid 3.5/5 stars for me.
