I Woke Up as a High School Senior from the Start, and This Max-Level Expert Is No Push-Over

[Reborn] [Max-Level Expert Drops Into Campus] [Comeback and Crushing the Bullies] [Mutual Redemption] [Soul Countdown] [Northeastern Chinese Everyday Life]

A 35-year-old underworld second-in-command gave his life to save a boy jumping off a bridge, only for his soul to awaken in the boy's body.

The boy in the mirror was so thin that every rib showed.

The last page of his diary read: "I don't want to live anymore. I'll go to the bridge after school tomorrow."

Bullied by the school tyrant for three years, he had been forced to kneel and call him "Daddy."

His mother had been poisoned and driven mad, and no one helped her.

His biological father denied him because he was born out of wedlock, and no one asked about him.

He Zheng closed the diary. "I'll collect the debts you were owed."

When the school bully reached out to shove him, He Zheng flipped him over his shoulder and left him begging for mercy.

A teacher tried to expel him, but he cited the school rules to the teacher's face until they had nothing to say.

When an underling of the mastermind behind a hundred-billion-yuan conglomerate came to threaten him, He Zheng turned around and seized the other man's money-laundering lifeline.

He went from scoring 30 in math to ranking eighth in his grade.

At a schoolwide assembly, he used 43 witness statements to expose the mastermind controlling the entire school.

Everyone wondered: When did Ji Yu become a different person?

Only one person had known the answer from day one.

Silver-rimmed glasses, a low ponytail, and the top grades in the year.

She was the only one who saw through him, and the only person he'd ever fallen for in his 35 years.

But he knew that a soul could inhabit a body for only so long.

First he'd lose his strength, then his memories.

The last time he held her hand, his fingers had already gone cold.

"In our next life, I'll come find you with a clean slate. I'll treat you to grilled cold noodles, extra spicy."
