[A delivery rider who falls from a building × a stock-market prophet × a dual-timeline comeback fantasy]
A delivery order takes Lin Feng to a rooftop. He tries to talk someone out of jumping, only to slip and become a “human comet” himself.
When he opens his eyes again, he has been reborn in 1991, back in the body of his timid 17-year-old self, who had just been caught sneaking a look at his crush!
In his previous life, he worked diligently as a corporate drone, only to be laid off and divorced, ending up as one of the hapless investors swept away by the financial storm.
This time, armed with 30 years of stock-market memories, he storms back into his youth:
He stockpiles subscription warrants in 1992, takes on market manipulators in 1996, and turns the tables on Wall Street in 2008...
From school uniform to business suit, from market fodder to capital predator, the tycoons who once had him groveling now all call him “Teacher Lin”!
There’s just one small problem with this rebirth script: it’s hard on the women.
The campus belle he’s always adored hands him a love letter: “You look way hotter trading stocks than the math teacher does.”
A ruthless investment banker tosses him a contract: “Marry me, and I’ll give you a billion in startup capital.”
Even the domineering CEO who was out of reach in his previous life splashes red wine onto his designer shirt: “Lin Feng, you stole my family’s bull market. Don’t you think you should steal me, too?”
Lin Feng sits in the brokerage hall, sucking on a popsicle as he watches the electronic screens and smiles:
“I worked 996 in my last life, and got a golden finger in this one. Turns out, life’s stock chart...
All it takes is catching one limit-up, and even a coward can punch a hole in the sky!”
