Reborn as a Prison Guard, I Became a Winner in Life Through Side Hustles

In his previous life, Chen Feng worked himself to the bone in a corrections job, losing sleep and ruining his health. Not only did someone steal his first-class merit award, but years of never being home also drove his wife to divorce him, her heart turned cold. At 45, he died in a prison riot while trying to shield a superior who had violated the rules from a knife attack. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in 1999, in his second year working at a detention center. After getting a second chance at life, Chen Feng finally understood: promotions and honors were all meaningless! This time, he would never work overtime! At work, he’d sip from a thermos and read the newspaper. After work, he’d run side businesses. He volunteered for the most relaxing job no one else wanted: becoming the “slacker warden” of an abandoned prison labor farm. Behind the scenes, he started greenhouse farming and food processing, bought unfinished buildings, and snapped up courtyard houses. He also put his twenty years of interrogation experience from his previous life to use, calmly sipping tea as he brought future criminals, business tycoons, and underworld gangsters completely to heel. Years later, when the superior who had stolen his credit was brought down for corruption, Chen Feng had become a hidden tycoon worth tens of billions, living the carefree life of a man with a loving wife and children at home, the kind of life even immortals wouldn’t trade.
