Reborn: My Scumbag Father and His Mistress Won’t Get Away

The story is set in an industrial city in northern China in 2010, during a period of deepening reform at state-owned enterprises. Housing benefits have become a crucial stepping stone for middle-class families looking to grow their assets. Zhang Nian is reborn into the height of summer, basking in the glory of being the top scorer on the college entrance exam. She has just 20 days before her father, Zhang Weiguo, tricks her mother, Lin Xiuqin, into signing divorce papers under the pretense of “getting divorced on paper to buy another home.” In her previous life, she died in a fire amid her family's upheaval. Now, reborn with all her memories intact, she has a clear goal: to team up with her mother, gather evidence that Zhang Weiguo and his intern, Li Na, conspired to forge documents and transfer marital assets, stop the sham-divorce scheme, and bring the adulterous pair to court. The city's state-owned enterprise system is deeply entrenched, and the workplace, family, and law enforcement form a complex web. Under Zhang Weiguo's pressure and Li Na's surveillance, Zhang Nian must use key moments remembered from her previous life to turn the tables in a meticulously planned race against time for justice.
