Song Yan was reborn, returning to that night three years ago that he would regret for the rest of his life. In his previous life, he was notorious in their circle as a scoundrel. He cheated after marriage and stayed out all night, trampling his wife's sincere love into the dirt. In the end, he fell into a series of traps laid by his stepfather, losing his reputation and everyone close to him. After being kicked out of the house, he died in a car crash deemed an "accident." When he opened his eyes after being reborn, he was lying in his mistress's bed. His phone showed a missed call from his wife, Ye Wan. Outside the door, his father-in-law was pounding furiously, while his stepfather, Chen Jingsheng, hid in the shadows, waiting to use the video to force his mother to sign over her shares.
Everything was exactly as it had been in his previous life.
Except now, Song Yan had a "Scoundrel's Debts System" in his head. Whenever he sincerely repented and made amends to those he had hurt, he could earn "healing points" to unlock special abilities. But if he disobeyed the System's instructions? His heart would stop.
So by day, he knelt in front of the entire company and begged his wife to forgive him. By night, he grabbed a kitchen knife and cornered his stepfather's spy in an alley. While making breakfast for his daughter and writing an apology letter to his wife, he also redeemed "Trace Tracking" and "Lie Interrogation" from the System's shop, exposing his sanctimonious stepfather down to his underwear. Chen Jingsheng thought he was still the same useless live-in son-in-law. But by the time he realized what was happening, Song Yan had already lured away half of his family's business empire.
With a lollipop between his teeth, Song Yan smiled faintly at his vicious stepfather, who had come to his door to demand an explanation.
"Dad, we'll settle the score from my last life, slowly, in this one."
