At twenty-eight, Lin Zhixia is driven to take her own life with pills after her company goes bankrupt and her parents die of illness. When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the day she finished the college entrance exams at eighteen, and a Life Correction System has bound itself to her.
In her previous life, she was impatient for success, trusted a treacherous business partner, drove her parents to their deaths, and dragged her childhood friend into prison. This time, she clutches her admission letter, tears up her plans to study a popular major, and throws herself into preserving intangible cultural heritage. She vows to save her family’s endangered traditional Chinese medicinal paste recipes and undo every regret.
She uses short videos to document her grandmother’s traditional paste-making techniques, turning the old craft into a viral sensation. She exposes the true nature of her “perfect first love” in public and makes him a laughingstock. She spots her childhood friend’s talent for esports early and helps him achieve his dream of competing. And while fighting off malicious attacks from business partners and industry rivals, she unexpectedly reunites with Shen Yanci, the mysterious investor she misunderstood in her previous life.
Over seven years, Lin Zhixia mends the rifts between mothers, daughters, and grandmothers, exposes business scams, and brings her family’s medicinal paste recipes to the national stage for intangible cultural heritage. She not only rebuilds her career at its peak, but also comes to understand what it means to be reborn: not to live a perfect life, but to protect her parents’ health and keep her loved ones by her side, transforming the devastation of her past life into the sweetness of the years she has now.
