After eight years of grueling military service, Lu Zheng gives it everything he has, only to have his achievements stolen and end up discharged in disgrace. He is left trapped in a drafty rental room, watching others take credit for his glory. When the snowstorm finally passes, he suddenly finds himself reborn on the first day of recruit training in 2010.
Back at eighteen, he is still a frail recruit at the bottom of the rankings, mocked by everyone. He collapses during the three-kilometer run, can't keep his feet straight in formation, and becomes the whole company's laughingstock. Branded a good-for-nothing, he faces the threat of being sent home. But beneath his youthful appearance lies the soul of a veteran who has lived through life and death.
In his previous life, he was too eager to show off and suffered for his recklessness. This time, he knows the value of keeping his abilities hidden. He reins in all his sharp edges, avoids competing for first place, stays safely in the middle, and quietly builds his strength as he grows. He silently remembers every slight and every scheme, protects the comrades who are true to him, and sees through Squad Leader Yan's tough exterior to his soft heart.
During extra training on a freezing night, he awakens a healing warmth within himself. On the training ground, he breaks through his limits and turns his fortunes around. This time, Lu Zheng sheds the recklessness of youth, faces every hardship with a veteran's steady resolve, secures his future, and reclaims the glory that belongs to him, honoring both his military service and the rest of his life.
