Once the top student in her hometown, Chen Hui is now at the bottom of her class after getting into the best high school in the city. She refuses to accept it.
So Heaven gives her a “golden finger”: whenever she fails an exam, she can be reborn before taking it.
Chen Hui is thrilled. Now she can take first place and rise to the top, right?
But later, Chen Hui discovers that a shocking secret and a massive conspiracy lie behind this “golden finger,” tied to a series of long-buried events…
The Chen Hui of the past meets the Chen Hui of the future:
“Back then, he helped me out of my lowest point and pulled me back when I’d given up on myself. If he really goes astray someday, I’ll save him, too,” says 18-year-old Chen Hui.
“You can’t save him. Because over the next 20 years, you’ll kill him countless times,” says 38-year-old Chen Hui.
[Content warning: The high school setting is realistic, not idealized, and the story involves topics such as high school math and geography. If that’s not for you, feel free to move on.
The comeback isn’t instant: there are ups and downs, and neither lead is a once-in-a-generation genius.]
