The City News Time Rewinder

Bu Kui, an overworked security guard, died of a heart attack in his rented apartment after pulling ten consecutive overnight shifts. But death did not bring him peace. Instead, he was bound to a bizarre "News Headline" System. Every social news story corresponds to one of the human tragedies he used to read about: a fake nun committing murder, a teacher molesting a student, an elderly man falling victim to a scam, a couple fighting over the bride price... And his own death was the beginning of it all.

The System grants him the ability to "rewind," but each time he does, he can only possess a victim in one of those news stories who is about to die horribly. To discover the real cause of his death and change the fate laid out for him, Bu Kui has no choice but to step into those dark whirlpools again and again. He has been an old man who was swindled, a little girl about to be murdered, and even a dutiful son who died after crashing his car into a tree. As he lives through the headline endings meant for other people, he gradually discovers that his death may be connected to the deepest criminal network beneath the city...
