Back to the Past: Turning My Tomboy Friend into My Wife

[Rebirth + No System + One Heroine + Business Battles + Period-Era Comeback] Zheng Yuanhao had died once. In his previous life, he risked everything to save a girl from drowning, only to sink into the icy river himself. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the summer of 2017, back to when Bai Chuchu was still alive. That “spirited little punk,” with her boldly dyed long hair and tough talk but soft heart, had been the brightest light of his youth and would later become a regret etched on a gravestone. In his previous life, she died in an “accidental car crash.” This time, he swore he would never let the tragedy happen again. But when he returned to the familiar small city, he realized things were far from simple. A coal-mining family with ties to both sides of the law, undercurrents of interest-driven rivalries, and underground forces on the rise... Behind Bai Chuchu's death, there seemed to be a secret capable of swallowing everyone whole. At the same time, reborn Zheng Yuanhao was no longer the yellow-haired boy who did nothing but fight and skip class. Armed with ten years of memories from the future, he gathered a group of brothers whom life had backed into a corner, seized the opportunities of the times, and rose to success one step at a time. Everyone thought they were just a bunch of thugs. But years later, those boys everyone had looked down on were standing at the forefront of the times. In this life, he would do more than make money, turn his fortunes around, and change his fate. He would also save that scarred girl from the bottomless mire with his own hands. “You died too young in your last life.” “This time, I'll protect you for the rest of your life.”
