On the day the 2014 college entrance exam results came out, Lin Zhou opened his eyes to the sound of debt collectors kicking down his door. He had somehow returned to three years before his family was destroyed, with an unclaimed World Cup lottery ticket still clutched in his hand.
In his previous life, he’d drifted through life, watching his parents buckle under their debts and his secret crush, Su Qingyue, clutch her Nokia outside the construction site where he worked, hesitating to come closer. This time, he cashes in the ticket and pays off the debt, then pulls his friends into the 2014 Taobao boom. At a campus entrepreneurship competition, while everyone else talks about their dreams, he shows off lingerie samples that brought in over ten thousand yuan in their first month, making the girl handing out milk tea blush.
He thinks all he cares about is building a business, but he keeps running into Su Qingyue. She takes a detour to bring him warm soy milk, saying, “I was just passing by.” She helps him clap back at trolls during his livestream, secretly types “Lin Zhou is amazing” into her phone’s drafts, and even blocks an investor’s son when he tries to tempt her with the promise of taking his company public. “I only like him.”
Then, on the night he confesses, Su Qingyue pulls out the Nokia 5230 she’s kept hidden for eight years. “I fell for you in our previous life when you helped fix my bike and said, ‘Be careful.’ It had nothing to do with whether you had money.” Lin Zhou suddenly understands that being reborn isn’t just about turning his career around. It’s also about holding on tight to the person he lost in his previous life.
If you have a single female protagonist, you should first make money to pursue the female protagonist after rebirth. I started sprinkling sugar in Chapter 80
