Reborn in 1980: Into the Mountains to Protect My Nine Daughters

About the story

In his previous life, hunter Chen Fan’s blind obedience to his parents caused him to fail his wife Lin Wanwan and their nine daughters. Only after they were torn apart did he deeply regret it. Reborn on the crucial day when his ninth daughter has just been born and his eldest is about to be sent away, he finally wakes up, stands in front of his wife and daughters to protect them and bonds with a mysterious “Compendium of Beasts.” From hunting hares and battling wild boars to mastering the talents of many animals, Chen Fan draws on the mountains to steadily improve the family’s circumstances, builds a business selling mountain produce and keeps his wife and nine daughters safe, while leading his fellow villagers toward prosperity. Faced with exploitation by relatives, pressure from corrupt merchants and the kidnapping of a daughter, he finally calls on the animals to search the mountains and makes his true choice between power, wealth and family.
