Late one night in 2023, 35-year-old Chen Yu collapsed on the assembly line at an electronics factory, bringing his ordinary, frustrating life to an end. Born in the 1980s as the second child in a family with two children, he had endured his parents’ neglect, failed the college entrance exams, missed out on every big opportunity, and finally worked himself to death trying to support his family. When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting in the 2003 high school entrance exam hall.
This time, he would no longer be an ordinary man crushed by the times. Armed with memories of the next twenty years, Chen Yu earned his first fortune through lottery tickets and snapped up properties around Beijing’s Second Ring Road. He invested in the stock market, timing his exits perfectly as bull markets turned to bear markets. He founded an internet company and rose to prominence during the fierce group-buying wars. He built a logistics empire, taking on financial giants in the global market. Then he moved into AI and aerospace, expanding his business to the stars. From a boy in a small county town, he rose to become the world’s richest man, hitting every turning point of the times and becoming a legend in the eyes of his former self.
But wealth was never his ultimate goal. In his previous life, he had let down his wife, Rumeng. In this life, he cherished her with care: the fleeting glance when they first met in a bookstore, the long journeys to see each other during their long-distance relationship, and the promise of three lifetimes when he proposed. When faced with the secret affection of his childhood friend and the deep devotion of his confidante, he treated them with honesty and helped each find the best future. Through the cutthroat battles of business and the twists and turns of love, he never forgot: he had been given another life so he wouldn’t miss the right person again.
As the rocket soared into the sky and he finally stood at the pinnacle of the world, holding Rumeng’s hand, he whispered, “Rumeng, in this life and the last, I owed you a happy ending. This time, I made it happen.”
