At thirty-two, Chen Mo’s life was a joke.
A low-level copywriter at an advertising agency, he was laid off, cheated on, and crushed by his mortgage. As he drank alone in his rented apartment, he learned that Shen Qingqiu, the woman he’d loved from afar for ten years, was about to move abroad and get married.
In that moment, Chen Mo was reborn.
He returned to September 1, 2008, the first day of his senior year of high school.
He had no System and no golden finger, only more than thirty years of life experience from his previous life and clear memories of the next sixteen years.
This time, he would no longer be the insecure boy who hid in a corner to steal glances at the campus belle.
This time, he would buy low during the financial crisis, get ahead of the mobile internet boom, and snap up property before housing prices took off.
Why did Shen Qingqiu, the aloof campus belle from his previous life, keep blushing as she came to ask him math questions?
Why did Jiang Wanyin, who would later become a superstar, take his hand in a bar and tell him he sang better than she did?
Why did Wen Yan, his childhood friend who married someone else and had an unhappy marriage, cling to his arm and tell him he wasn’t allowed to marry anyone else?
2008, here I come.
