Li Jin, a middle-aged man, is unexpectedly reborn in 2012, the year that broke his heart.
In 2007, after graduating from a major university, Li Jin turns down a job at a large company in his hometown and heads to the Magic City with his girlfriend, Xu Qiaoqiao, to make a living. They agree to buy a home and get married there in three years. But life as a wage earner proves far from easy. Li Jin's career goes nowhere, while Xu Qiaoqiao earns a promotion through her beauty and outstanding performance. By 2012, they still cannot afford a down payment, and Xu Qiaoqiao is pregnant. After giving birth to their son, she finally asks to split up and throws herself into the arms of a rich second-generation heir. Overwhelmed by grief, Li Jin passes out drunk and wakes up with the soul of his ten-years-older self, along with a supercomputer called Xunzi, sent by the Defense Science and Technology Commission of the Great Huaxia Federation in 2251 AD.
Reborn, Li Jin is determined to live his life differently.
