Reborn as Bao Guowei: The System Is Forcing Me to Defy Fate

Lin Feng, a modern-day office drone, opens his eyes and finds himself in the novel Father and Son Bao as Bao Guowei, a good-for-nothing about to repeat a grade and behind on his tuition.

A System prompt appears before him: “Raise 20 yuan for your uniform fees within three days, or you and your father are both done for, and you’ll never get back to the modern world!”

With no other choice, he has to use cheats! He trades with the System for a recipe to improve plum blossom cakes and makes his first fortune selling them on the street. He puts his bullies in their place and shocks everyone by coming first in the whole school. Then he teams up with Old Bao to open a soap workshop and a textile mill, rising from a poor boy to a rising industrialist in the Republic of China.

The Japanese invade China? The System gives him an early warning, and he evacuates in advance! The underground Communists need supplies? His factory becomes a secret transit hub!

From street vendor to national savior, Lin Feng rides the tide of the times and turns his life around. “The System wants me to change my fate? Fine. I, Bao Guowei, will turn this whole Republic of China upside down!”

Once he changes the Bao family’s fate, he’ll be able to go home. But the bonds and attachments he finds in this turbulent age make him suddenly realize that the best fate is the one you forge for yourself.
