We're All Reborn, So Isn't It Fair to Be a Good-for-Nothing?

At thirty-one, workaholic Lin Xian dies suddenly after one too many nights without sleep.

When he opens his eyes again, he is back in 2012, when fortunes are waiting to be made everywhere.

Given a second life, Lin Xian sees the light: To hell with the rat race! To hell with romance! This time around, he wants nothing but a life free of worldly attachments and a quiet retirement!

To coast through life doing as little as possible, he buys a run-down factory in the middle of nowhere for next to nothing and settles in to sleep.

But the next day, the richest man in the country cries out in alarm: “This place is destined to become the core of a brand-new district! Mr. Lin's foresight is terrifying. He must have powerful connections behind him!”

To enjoy the library's free air conditioning, he goes there every day and silently stares at an antisocial girl.

But the girl turns out to be the heiress of a top financial dynasty! Her furious family sends people to investigate, only to fall to their knees in terror: “So Mr. Lin is the hidden guardian deity!”

He casually gives a poor junior student two hundred yuan to send him on his way.

Years later, that junior student takes his company public and says through tears: “Without Chairman Lin's masterful planning back then, I wouldn't be where I am today!”

Looking at the financiers and tech moguls packed outside his door, along with the aloof campus beauty who is desperate to throw herself at him, Lin Xian eats a five-mao ice pop and looks utterly distraught.

“I really just want to quietly be a good-for-nothing. What on earth have you all imagined about me?!”
