[Transmigrated Villain] [Redemption] [Everyday Life] [Slow Burn] [Multiple Female Leads]
Chen Zhi thinks the air in this parallel world is sweet. Of course it is: his grandfather is a powerful figure in the Chen family of Nan Province, and his father is a globally renowned entrepreneur. He has money, power, and influence, and life has treated him well for over a decade. Nothing could be better. Well, there is one tiny annoyance: his family believed a fortune-teller who claimed that their ancestral hometown was the Chen family's land of origin, blessed with extraordinary fortune, and insisted on sending him back there to study. Fine, then. He'll go.
Oh, right. Why is there a guy at school named Lin Fan who says he came down from the mountains and knows martial arts? And another guy named Shen Dong, who's supposedly a math prodigy who solved a century-old problem? Then they suddenly shout things in the middle of class like, "Why should I explain my actions to you?" and "Without me, Shen Dong, the world of mathematics would have languished in darkness for millennia!"
Wait... could it be...
Never mind. It has nothing to do with me anyway.
But why are they looking at me so strangely? Is this what they mean by "three parts aloofness, three parts mockery, three parts flippancy, and one part seriousness"? And why are they telling me they absolutely won't let me bully Yu Wanqiu? Or that my luck has run out, Chen Zhi?
Yu Wanqiu? Who's that? And what luck? How does he know I've never won the lottery?
Wait, my head's so itchy. It feels like I'm about to grow a brain.
[In a more literary vein] Life is a range of mountains. He once struggled to cross them, never knowing what lay beyond. Now he has returned to the foot of the mountains, familiar with every wrong turn and shortcut. But this time, he wants to take it slow, for his own sake, and for those who once walked beside him before their paths diverged.
It was so good. Why did it stop?
