Synopsis of Rewriting Fate in This Mortal World
In the late autumn of 1976, in Guangzi Block.
Zhou Bingkun opens his eyes and realizes he has returned to more than forty years ago: his mother lies unconscious in bed, Zheng Juan has just arrived at his home, and Luo Shibin is still alive and well.
He remembers everything from his previous life: the fight over the adopted son, the wrongful imprisonment, Zhou Nan dying far from home, and the Six Young Gentlemen going their separate ways. He does not want to relive those regrets, carved into his bones, a second time.
Fortunately, Heaven has given him a “Fate-Reversing System.”
A space where he can exchange wishes for supplies, and memories from the future that let him foresee what is to come: with his golden finger in hand, he still has no desire to be a hero. He only wants to live an honest, ordinary life: wake his mother, marry Zheng Juan, raise Nannan as his own son, help his elder brother prosper in his career, keep his sister away from a terrible man, and earn a good living with the Six Young Gentlemen.
This is a gentle journey against the tide.
He stops Luo Shibin before he can make his fortune, keeps Feng Huacheng out of Zhou Rong's life, pulls Gan Chao back from the railway tracks, and gets Lu Chuan and Tang Xiangyang into university. He makes full use of every golden finger at his disposal, but relies even more on his wits, his connections, and a warm, generous heart.
From the earthen house in Guangzi Block to apartments, storefronts, and a little diner; from hauling waste at the soy sauce factory to starting a business with his brothers, Zhou Bingkun has never dreamed of becoming rich and powerful. All he wants is for his family to be safe, his friends to stay by his side, and life to hold promise.
It doesn't feel overly exaggerated; although it has a system, it's quite realistic and not mindless.
