The Boy Across the Net: A Max-Level Setter Returns to 2003

Xu Zhe, a wage slave lost in Nancheng's hypocritical world of fame and fortune, unexpectedly returns to his youth in Xingcheng in 2003, armed with top-level volleyball instincts. With his family still intact, a devilish coach's cane hanging over him, and his height seemingly fated to remain at "178 cm," he tries to give up sports and take up literature to "make money" and change his destiny, only to get a face-slapping reality check. With nowhere left to retreat, he vows to use his adult soul to break through the corruption and the shackles of genetics. Facing off across the net, the ball must never hit the ground: this is a passionate tale of redemption and defying fate across twenty years.
