Shen Yuxuan was reborn, returning to the sultry summer of his sophomore year.
In his last life, he had been drifting within the system for twenty years, standing in the wrong team and following the wrong people, and finally ended up living as an inconspicuous clerk in a street office filled with old newspapers. On his fortieth birthday, there was a cold rain outside the window, and a woman he had met several times handed him a cup of hot tea - the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yu. He no longer remembers why she was there, only the temperature of the cup of tea.
When I opened my eyes again, the fluorescent lights were buzzing, and the water stains on the ceiling of the dormitory were still fresh.
In this life, Shen Yuxuan doesn't want to do anything earth-shattering. He just wants to do two things: stop his father from being manipulated for the rest of his life, and catch up with the woman who once handed him tea when he was at his lowest.
But he soon discovered that the advantage of being reborn is not omniscience and omnipotence. The memory will be blurred and the details will be lost. He remembers who will become famous in the future, and he also remembers which backer will collapse one day - but what he remembers is only the result, not the whole process. You still have to walk every step of the way yourself.
From a small officer of the student union, to a general assistant of the school league committee, from a selected student in the township, to a core position in the provincial government, Shen Yuxuan has walked more steadily than anyone else. What he wants to do is not to become a legend in one step, but to stand on the right side in every game.
But Lin Xiu was far more complicated than he thought.
