After poor student Lin Chen is assassinated by a mysterious figure, his soul is reborn in the body of another Lin Chen, a top-tier rich heir. The countdown watch on his wrist, the cryptic warnings from the housekeeper Uncle Fu, and the suspicious traces left by the original owner’s car accident all suggest this rebirth was no coincidence. Forced to play the part of a wealthy heir, he navigates business battles and family infighting, only to discover that he is merely a test subject for a “soul-returning ritual,” while the reaper behind it all covets his fused soul.
His encounter with Su Qingyuan, a guardian of spacetime, reveals an even more astonishing secret: the Lin family has guarded a spacetime anchor for generations, and each generation must sacrifice a blood relative. In a parallel universe, the family of “poor student Lin Chen” is being hounded by loan sharks. As memories from the two worlds intertwine, he struggles to choose between “survival” and “protection.” When the reaper joins forces with a traitor in the family, he must combine the resilience he learned at the bottom with the resources of the elite, fighting on two fronts across the rifts in spacetime. In the end, he must choose: remain a wealthy heir in control of a fortune, or return to his ordinary original world, where he may trigger the collapse of spacetime? The countdown on his watch ticks on, and his soul has already become the balance between two worlds.
