The Poacher's Skin, the Guardian's Soul of the Tree of Life

In 1996, in Hoh Xil, Qinghai, Shen Xingran opens his eyes with a bloodstained knife in his hand. Li Yongqiang's vicious laugh rings in his ears: "What are you waiting for? We're sending Duojie to his grave tonight!" His mind explodes. Isn't this episode two of The Tree of Life? Dongzhi Ba, who is eighteen, is going to die tonight.

Then he discovers he can go back five minutes. Incredible.

A young man from the city who knows every tragedy in advance has transmigrated into the lowest-ranking lackey in a poaching gang. He can rewind time by five minutes three times a day, but each use comes at a cost: a nosebleed, a headache, or temporary memory loss.

He uses those limited chances to sabotage poaching operations again and again: imitating Tibetan antelope calls to sound the alarm, kicking a gun into an icy river, deliberately damaging a truck, and setting trapped Tibetan antelopes free.

The patrol officers start thinking this poacher is "cursed." Every time they run into him, they somehow manage to escape disaster.
