I Was Reborn to Repay a Debt, but the Commander Had Been Waiting for Me

She is reborn in 1975, returning to the winter when her benefactor died saving her.

In this life, Lin Wanqiu vows to do three things: save her friend from drowning, repay the mysterious soldier, and avoid repeating the lonely ending of her previous life.

But when she snatches her friend back from death beside the freezing Qingxi River, she never expects fate's gears to have quietly shifted. Lu Zhanbei, the war hero who was supposed to die far away, appears at her rural youth settlement ahead of schedule because of an injury.

He is the sharpest blade on the southwestern frontier, but his injury forces him to lie low in this little village. He sees her slight figure starting a literacy night school in the bitter winter. He sees her remarkable foresight at a turning point in history. Beneath his calm gaze, his feelings begin to stir. She approaches him only to repay the gratitude she could never express in her previous life.

Then news arrives that the college entrance exams are being reinstated. She receives her admission letter, and he is about to return to the battlefield. On the night before he leaves, he stops her, his scar clear in the moonlight. “Lin Wanqiu, don't go. Or wait for me to come back.”

Later, everyone knows that a military husband stands behind successful entrepreneur Lin Wanqiu.

But no one knows the deeper secret he keeps in his heart:

He treasures every letter she has ever sent and remembers every regret she happened to mention in her previous life.

It turns out she wasn't the only one who returned with memories, determined to make things right.

See how a clear-eyed, steadfast young woman sent to the countryside and a devoted soldier who protects her rewrite the fate of her benefactor, make up for a lifetime of regrets, and join hands to make the right choices amid the sweeping tide of reform and opening up.
