Lin Chen, 44, spent New Year's Eve in a wretched rented room, bringing his miserable life to an end.
His startup had collapsed, leaving him tens of millions in debt. His wife and children were gone. His father had died far from home in an accident years earlier, and his overworked mother was bedridden with a serious illness. Even the girl he had admired from afar as a young man had given up her studies and ended up living a life of hardship.
After an accidental electric shock, he opened his eyes and found himself back 27 days before the 1998 college entrance exams. None of the tragedies had happened yet.
Every opportunity he had missed in his previous life was now within his grasp. He would do everything he could to protect everyone he had let down and give them the happy lives they deserved.
