A Love Across Two Lifetimes: Gao Xiaoqin of Lu Yike

Before she died, she said, “In my next life, I want to be a good person.”

So in this life, before anything could happen, Lu Yike found her.

After Gao Xiaoqin was sentenced to death, anti-corruption bureau director Lu Yike was reborn in 1998.

In her previous life, her feelings toward that woman had been impossibly complicated. She admired her intelligence and resilience, pitied the fact that she had so little control over her own life, and despised the way she had fallen into corruption. When Gao Xiaoqin told her through the glass before her execution, “In my next life, I want to be a good person,” Lu Yike had no idea those words would haunt her for the rest of her life.

This time, before fate could crush the sixteen-year-old girl from a fishing village, she would stop it.

She finds Gao Xiaoqin, pays for her and her younger sister’s education, and helps them leave the island in the middle of the lake. Gao Xiaoqin studies finance and later founds Shanshui Group, but this time she doesn’t take the crooked path. She focuses on industry, environmental protection, and poverty alleviation, becoming a prominent entrepreneur in Handong Province.
