Synopsis

Deng Shirong was reborn, waking up in the summer of 1980.



In his past life, he had foolishly trusted a matchmaker’s words, only to see his children’s marriages turn into disasters. His two sons-in-law were utterly useless, and his daughters-in-law wreaked havoc in the household.



This time, he wasn’t leaving anything to chance. He would personally take the reins and handpick the perfect partners for his children.



Years later, during a gathering with old friends, the topic of conversation turned to their daughters-in-law—were they filial or not? Deng Shirong didn’t say a word. Instead, with a calm smile, he took out his phone and posted a simple message on WeChat Moments:



“Suddenly craving some Guilin beer fish.”



The next moment, his phone started blowing up.



Eldest daughter-in-law: “Dad, I’ll drive back this Saturday and take you on a trip to Guilin. I’ve been craving authentic beer fish too!”



Second daughter-in-law: “Dad, I’m free right now. I’ll drive back immediately to pick you up. Let’s go enjoy Guilin for a few days!”



Third daughter-in-law: “Dad, I have some work to wrap up at the office, but I’ll send the driver to pick you up first…”



Fourth daughter-in-law: “…”



Youngest daughter-in-law: “…”



His old friends sat there in stunned silence, their jaws practically hitting the floor. Their faces were filled with envy!

Seems interesting so far. MC is mature so that's a plus. I don't know where the direction of the story is heading but I'm hoping we don't go down the young master face slapping route.

If you're looking for a great second-chance story, this book is a fantastic choice. What sets it apart is its middle-aged protagonist, offering a refreshing change from the usual youthful leads. While there are hints of nationalism, it's handled in a way that isn’t overbearing or insufferable. As far as I recall, there’s no racism, making it an enjoyable and accessible read. Overall, it’s a lighthearted and engaging novel—perfect for anyone looking for a fun and unique take on the genre.
