Lin Xiaowei died of illness at eighteen, but on the eve of the hundred-day countdown to the gaokao, she finds herself back in her high school classroom. Feeling the smooth, youthful skin on the back of her hand, she vows not to repeat her past mistakes this time: save her father from cancer in its early stages, avoid the trap set by her fake friend, and bravely accept the confession that came ten years too late.
But as she starts changing the course of her fate, she unexpectedly discovers two other “temporal anomalies” at school: top student Lu Xingyu, who also comes from the future, and Zhou Ting, a former enemy now bound to fragments of future technology. The three inadvertently form a dangerous time-paradox vortex. Every intervention in the past chips away at the stability of the present world.
Amid the tangle of family bonds, friendship, and first love, Lin Xiaowei faces a cruel choice: should she insist on correcting every regret, or learn to make peace with an imperfect life? As time itself begins to reject their existence, the three reborn people must form a fragile alliance before the gaokao ends and find a way to save one another without destroying this world and its timeline.
This is a story about being reborn, but it’s about more than that. When you have the chance to rewrite your life, perhaps the greatest courage isn’t changing everything, but continuing to love this imperfect world in its entirety, even when you know every regret.
