A small-time businessman in the twenty-first century is secretly conspired against by his friends and rivals and driven into bankruptcy. After a drunken car crash sends him plunging off a bridge, he unexpectedly transmigrates into Xie Ruolin from the TV drama The Disguiser.
Both he in his previous life and Xie Ruolin in this one are tragic little nobodies at the bottom of society. He refuses to let the tragedy happen again. He will rewrite his fate and make up for the regrets left by the original series.
He exploits his superiors' shady dealings to claw his way up, entering a cycle of investing, getting promoted, making money, reinvesting, rising further, and earning even more. He puts the philosophy of "all talk of ideals on the surface, all business in the heart" into practice to the fullest, gaining both power and wealth while making up for the regrets of his previous life.
He stops being a lovesick fool around his wife, Wanchiu, and only steps in for her when it really matters. As a result, he gradually wins her favor and love.
As someone from a later era, he loves this country deeply. Though he never joins the underground Communist Party, his heart has always yearned for the Party organization. Using intelligence he obtains through the Bureau of Communications and Statistics, he secretly protects Yu Zecheng and Cuiping time and again, rescuing them at crucial moments and gradually earning their trust.
As a member of the Bureau of Communications and Statistics, Xie Ruolin embarks on a parallel storyline beyond The Disguiser, uncovering some of the secrets of the Bureau and the Kuomintang's upper ranks.
While watching the TV series, I felt that only two people truly understood life: Wu Jingzhong and Xie Ruolin. However, their different positions naturally led to different outcomes. This book is good; Xie Ruolin's character is cleverly positioned. I'm especially looking forward to the story after she leaves the stage.
This book is really good. I really liked Xie Ruolin when I watched the TV series, especially his insightful quotes. 😄😄😄
In the masterpiece of spy dramas, "Lurking," I really liked the character Xie Ruolin, who stuttered a lot. This book portrays the character again from another perspective, which I think is quite successful.
Two days later, in the evening, when Xie Ruolin came out of Xie's Trading Company after closing up, he saw several black cars parked near Baoshun Road in the British Concession. The license plates were official plates starting with "A" (Jin A), parked near the entrance of Shunxing Lane. The windows were tinted dark, making it impossible to see who was inside. Where were there "A" plates in the past?! Modern thinking has moved over there.
Turning borrowed ideas into interesting and innovative new works 👍
I'm giving it a thumbs up before even reading it. Judging from the title, it seems to be a story that's all hype and plot details. It needs to be broad-minded; I've hardly ever read a story about a male protagonist who transmigrates. The book's script is fixed, but the sense of immersion and the tropes will make it enjoyable for people of all ages.
It's good; the author put a lot of effort into it.
Very innovative and insightful. May Taiwan return to China soon!
Well written, keep it up!
Well written, I'll keep reading.
