Zhou Xiaoguang is reborn as Zhou Bingkun, an inconsequential character in A Lifelong Journey.
From the start, he awakens the “Everyday Life System” and saves Zheng Juan from Luo Shibin before he can assault her, sparing her a lifetime of tragedy.
He promptly splits from his family and sets up a noodle stall in Guangzi District. The aroma of his plain noodles carries for miles.
System rewards: the Zhou family's ancestral secret sauce recipe. After tasting it, Cai Xiaoguang exclaims, “This is miles better than Zhou Rong's cooking!”
When Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng fight over a divorce, he watches coldly. “I told you that poet couldn't be trusted.”
Cai Xiaoguang stops being a lovesick fool and invests in Zhou Xiaoguang's “Guangzi District Home Cooking” chain.
Years later, his restaurant empire brings warmth to the entire city.
One night, drunk and transmigrated back to the modern day, he discovers that Zhou Bingkun's soul has become the owner of a chain restaurant.
Through the shop window, the man is sitting leisurely with a cup of tea. As if sensing his gaze, he looks up, and they exchange smiles across time and space.
