He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

He Tiantian wouldn't have approached her if it weren't for something good.
Furthermore, He Tiantian had spoken to them before the Lunar New Year, and after careful consideration, they decided to invest.
“I’ll contribute too,” Qi Xiaoyan said. She invests with He Tiantian and earns a considerable amount of savings each year.
She considers it a good deed, a way to pray for her family, as she earns money for her two sons and husband.
Qi Zhengmin is about to give birth, and Yuan Hua has also found out she is pregnant, so she empathizes with her and agrees.
Wang Ying was delighted to see that her suggestion was approved by everyone, bringing her one step closer to her goal. She said, "It's a bit difficult for us to go looking for those children one by one. How about we start with the welfare homes for disabled children and orphanages in Yanjing? Once we find a more effective method and develop more staff and volunteers, we can expand to other places."
"Hmm, not bad," He Tiantian agreed. "Since we're all together, why don't we think of a name?"
Yuan Hua thought for a moment and said, "Every child is an angel sent by God, so let's call it the Angel Foundation, what do you think?"
Qi Zhengmin nodded in agreement, saying, "Very good, this is a good name."
Yuan Hua's chosen name was unanimously approved.
Tang Qian came to pick up Qi Zhengmin and take him home. On the way, Qi Zhengmin told Tang Qian about this matter.
"You women are really capable!" Tang Qian said. "However, you are all very kind. Since we have the ability, let's help those poor children. Consider it as accumulating blessings for our unborn child."
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too,” Qi Zhengmin said. “Tang Qian, go and get the relevant paperwork done.”
“No problem,” Tang Qian said with a smile. “Once my entertainment company makes money, I will also allocate some of the profits to the Angel Rescue Fund.”
After the women returned home, they all discussed it with the men in their families.
That was money the women earned through their own businesses, and as long as they were willing, none of the men had any objections.
After that, Wang Ying and Tang Qian worked together on this matter.
Although the Snake King did not offer any assistance, he had been keeping an eye on the Huo family's past affairs.
After the matter was over, the Snake King realized that the Huo family was not bad, and at the same time he remembered that Li Mingkai was the educated youth from Qijia Village.
"That educated youth was too clever for his own good; he had ulterior motives," said the Snake King. He was always looking for shortcuts, but he didn't realize that sometimes shortcuts lead to even more traps.
The free lunch is often the most expensive.
“Yes, it’s like how hunters always set traps on the path their prey must take to reach the river. If you take a detour, you can escape,” He Tiantian said. “People like that think they’re very clever, but that’s just petty cleverness.”
"Oh right, I remember there was another woman who was somewhat similar to him, what was her name again?" The Snake King knew a lot about He Tiantian's affairs and his own affairs, but he didn't care much about other unimportant people.
“Lin Xiaoru is quite the troublemaker,” He Tiantian said. “Although this woman wasn’t directly involved in this matter, her ambiguous relationship with Li Mingkai is probably intricately connected to it. Now that we have a countermeasure, these people won’t be given important positions. They’re just being used, and they don’t know the Huo family’s secrets, so even if they’re being used to spread rumors, it won’t be a big deal.”
"Oh, I see." The Snake King nodded. "It's good that there's no threat. Although the Huo family got into trouble this time, it also showed their integrity. I guess no one will interfere with the Huo family's finances in the future."
"Yes, let's just say it was a blessing in disguise," He Tiantian said with a smile. "However, I still felt quite aggrieved at the time."
"This is what humans mean when they say, 'Once you're in the game, you're not in control of your own destiny,'" said the Snake King. "The Huo family is in officialdom; with allies come enemies, so it's inevitable."
"Yes, that's why we're being very cautious," He Tiantian said. "By the way, I've been busy with family matters lately, so I haven't had a chance to properly check on you. How are you?"
"I'm doing fine. The people Tang Qian arranged for me are very capable. Now all I have to do is walk the runway. Many production teams have approached me to film TV dramas, but I've turned them all down. I think they're too tacky and not as cool as those from abroad," the Snake King said critically. "That's it, I like it very much."
"Uh, the film we're shooting now isn't with you," He Tiantian said with a smile. Looking at the Snake King with his sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and arrogant and unrestrained demeanor, she thought he should be acting in those fantasy films with an ethereal quality.
However, current special effects technology is not mature enough, so it probably won't work.
“If you like acting, you could act in martial arts dramas,” He Tiantian suggested. “After all, you can only be a model for a few years. Even if you stay young forever, you can’t do it for too long, otherwise you’ll attract attention both domestically and internationally, and they might even take you to a laboratory for research.”
Now that things are over, He Tiantian has time to joke around with the Snake King.
The Snake King shrugged and said, "You're right, I quite like the entertainment industry these days. But all I can do is look cool on the runway, I can't act."
“That’s easy. You can take some time to study acting at the Film Academy,” He Tiantian said with a smile. “I used to be a teacher at that school. If you really want to go, I’ll arrange it for you.”
"Sure, just sign me up for a class, even if I'm just an auditor," said the Snake King. "Then I can become a big star."
With the Snake King's humorous antics, He Tiantian's mood improved considerably. Huo Yingjie wasn't surprised that the Snake King had become a celebrity.
"Aren't you curious at all?" He Tiantian asked. "I never imagined that a snake prince would become such a big star?"
“What’s so strange about that!” Huo Yingjie chuckled. “Li Xian’s personality is such that he likes people’s attention to him. Plus, he’s good-looking and his life is always lively and exciting, so naturally he likes it. If it were me doing experiments every day, I doubt he could stand it for even a day.”
“Hmm, it might be a personality issue,” He Tiantian agreed. “But it’s a good thing that Snake King has things he enjoys doing. Not only is he not bored, but he also brings profits to Tang Qian’s entertainment company. Now that the business is expanding, expenses are high, and Snake King is the only one making money. Hopefully, Xiao Yan’s cassettes will sell more, so that two people can earn money, and the company’s pressure will be less. Making money also proves that they have a good future and the confidence to continue.”
“It should be fine,” Huo Yingjie said. “Li Xian, don’t worry. Xiao Yan’s songs aren’t just patriotic songs; they also have some popular elements and other good songs. They should be very marketable.”
Since we can't openly sing love songs anymore, we've chosen some grander, catchy songs with pop elements as an experiment.
