Reborn in Senior Year: Starting by Shorting Wall Street

In his previous life, Jiang Yubai was a national treasure who died in the depths of the sea fighting off foreign financial predators. But he left one debt unpaid: to the cool, distant girl who never married because of him.

Carrying thirty years of future knowledge, Jiang Yubai returns to his senior year of high school in 2009.

This time, he won't leave anything to regret. He wants it all: wealth, control of the technological lifelines, and the girl he has always loved.

Need startup capital? He casually writes down predictions of global crises, prompting Wall Street tycoons to charter overnight flights to China to see him. He shorts overseas markets and rakes in hundreds of billions of dollars.

Foreign investors want a monopoly on technology? He responds by building a trillion-dollar investment empire, getting ahead on chips and new energy, and crushing overseas capital.

At school, he's a slacker who sleeps through class and spends all day pestering the cool school beauty Lin Chusui to copy her homework.

Outside school, he's a shadowy tycoon who terrifies the world's powerful. One word from him can unleash a global financial tsunami.

Then, on the day the college entrance exam results are announced, the name of the country's top science-track scorer, with a perfect score, sets the internet ablaze. It's the same name as that of the mysterious richest man in the country.

Eyes red, Lin Chusui corners him in the classroom and demands to know why he pretended to be a bad student and lied to her.

Jiang Yubai smiles, presses a stack of trillion-dollar equity transfer documents into her arms, and whispers in her ear:

What's a perfect score on the college entrance exam? How about I give you control of the global economy as your bride price?
