Reborn in 1998: The Richest Man's Redemption

As his final breath is snatched away, Qin Feng hears the echo of fate in the darkness: he has been reborn, back in the morning of 1998 in that shabby rented room. This time, he is no longer the world’s richest man, high above the clouds, but an ordinary young man with only five yuan in his pocket. No one knows that behind those clear, resolute eyes lie twenty years of memories from the ruthless world of business.

The early spring wind sweeps over the mottled walls of the old district. Qin Feng grips his wife Liu Wan’s hand and whispers, “This time, I won’t let you suffer again.” He once watched helplessly as she jumped to her death. Now he must build her a life of security amid the muck and hardships of daily life. By day, he handles sales for a factory; at night, he hunches over his desk, planning his business strategy for the next decade. He knows that the truly powerful never show off. Playing the pig to eat the tiger is the most ingenious way to survive.

As his first pot of gold quietly rolls in, Chen Hong’s shadow draws closer. This ambitious rival coils around him like a viper, hoping to snuff out his fledgling business before it can take root. But Qin Feng is no longer the nobody who could be pushed around. With calm and cunning, he overcomes one crisis after another, and amid the cutthroat business world, he wins back the trust of his son, Qin Yu. A crack opens in the ice between father and son, letting in a light they have not seen for years.

But as wealth once again piles up like a mountain and power begins to revolve around him, a weighty question emerges: If fate gives him another chance, can he truly atone for the sins of his past life? Or does every choice conceal a price that can never be repaid?

When a person gets two lives, should he live for himself, or spend them making amends to everyone?
