In his previous life, Liu Rufei drank too much, gambled recklessly, and accomplished nothing.
His wife and daughter left, heartbroken by his cruelty. His parents died with regrets, and his relatives treated him with cold indifference.
At forty-six, gravely ill and utterly alone, he died with resentment in a freezing stairwell.
As his life ebbed away, regret consumed him, burning down to his very bones.
In a single moment, he was reborn in 1998.
His daughter was dangerously ill with a high fever. His wife wept, and they had nothing to their name, their lives hanging by a thread.
It was the bleakest, and most pivotal, year of his life.
With decades of memories and hard-won remorse, Liu Rufei swore:
This time, he would never make the same mistakes again!
He would spend his life repaying his family for all he owed them;
seize every opportunity he'd once missed;
and settle the score with everyone who had ever bullied him!
With a keen eye, he would ride the wave of the times:
trade stamps to earn his first fortune;
enter the stock market and seize a chance at explosive wealth;
venture into real estate and lay the foundations of a business empire;
break into the internet industry and become a titan of his age.
From a street vendor to a king of business;
from having nothing to wielding power over all.
He would give his wife and daughter a life of security, let his parents enjoy their twilight years,
and make everyone who had looked down on him gaze up at the heights he'd reached!
In this life, Liu Rufei would soar to the heavens and turn the world upside down!
