My name is Lin Xiao. I'm twenty-seven, with a mortgage weighing on my shoulders, a salary that barely moves, and a job I'm barely surviving. I can see exactly where my life is headed.
One morning, I woke up to find an arrogant teenage boy in my home.
Bright eyes, tall and straight-backed, and he looked at me as if I were a bag of non-recyclable trash.
He said he was me. The seventeen-year-old me.
Now, this "me" points at me and lays down the rules:
First, put down that drink.
Second, pull yourself out of this pit of misery.
Third, I'm taking over your dead-end life now.
And so my passionate seventeen-year-old self begins teaching my twenty-seven-year-old self, step by step,
how to use a senior's brain to solve workplace problems, and a teenager's sharp edge to pierce the hypocrisy of the adult world.
We make videos, start side hustles, and hit back hard at the boss and the mortgage.
But just as I finally begin to turn things around, I accidentally uncover the truth behind his transmigration:
it involves a debt of blood, buried deep in my heart for ten years, something I never wanted to face again...
Seventeen versus twenty-seven: the strongest version of me saves the worst version of me.
And the me I am now must also save... the him from back then.
