Reborn in 1999: Twenty Years of Tumult

“No System, no golden finger, no mindless power trips, one female lead, and the everyday grind.” Most of this story draws on personal experience.

In 2020, as the pandemic began, nearly forty-year-old Jiang Tao was living in Australia and planning to lie flat, settling into an ordinary, comfortable life. But his assets were transferred away, his wife betrayed him, and his father was critically ill. Anxious, furious, and desperate, he drove alone to Sydney Airport, intending to return to China. In a daze, a sudden car accident changed everything.

When he woke up, he found himself back in the summer of 1999, just after taking the college entrance exam.

Armed with more than twenty years of knowledge and insight from the future, how would he write his life this time?

- Would he draw on his past life's experience and knowledge to amass a fortune, driven by love for his country and family, and ride the tide of the times?

- Would he change his family's fate, keep his grandmother and father from dying young, and help his siblings find a better future?

- Would he tread carefully in love, avoid repeating past mistakes, make different choices, and find his true soulmate?

- Or would he hold fast to the belief that “a career is the voyage, and family is the harbor,” continuing to search for life's meaning in a changing world?

Being reborn is about more than accumulating wealth. It is also a chance to explore life all over again.

This time, he'll live the next twenty years differently!
