Reborn: My Rise to Success in Dayue

In Shenzhen in 2024, Zhang Hao, a graduate of a private university, struggles to find a job and is penniless. During a torrential downpour, he dies in a car accident while trying to save an elderly person, only to transmigrate into Ling Xiao, a spoiled young master of the Zhen Guo General's household in the Dayue Kingdom.

Caught between the two, Zhang Hao is pushed into the passage by Zhao Lingxi, tears in her eyes. Back in the modern world, he uses the skills he learned during his transmigration to build a successful business. Then, at a charity event, he meets a girl who looks exactly like the princess...
