I died at twenty-six from liver failure. In my final moment, I was still thinking: If I could start over, I’d protect them this time.
When I open my eyes, I’m back on the eve of freshman military training, in the body of Lin Wan, a seemingly delicate, sweet college freshman whom everyone wants to protect.
No one knows that I’ve lived two lifetimes.
No one knows that a “cashback System” has appeared on my phone. Every meaningful purchase makes my money grow instead of shrink.
On the surface, I’m still the soft-spoken, easily embarrassed good girl. In secret, I begin quietly putting plans in motion:
I help my older brother escape 80,000 yuan in loan-shark debt, help my roommate deal with a tuition crisis, help my parents upgrade their convenience store, and help my best friend avoid a scumbag...
I don’t want to get rich or attract attention.
I just want them to have a slightly better life than they did in my previous one, and then a little better still.
But when I use the perfect secret identity of “Mr. Gu” to erase my regrets one by one, I realize...
That protecting others can be the most extravagant kind of revenge.
