When school beauty Su Qing slapped her love letter down on the desk, Lin Mu was still haunted by the miserable life he'd had at thirty-five. In his previous life, he dropped out after the college entrance exams and took a factory job. He wasted half his life and ended up with nothing, while his two older sisters, who had gone to work in factories straight out of junior high, never escaped the assembly line either. Now he'd returned to one month before the exams. His family was drowning in debt, his relatives were using his eldest sister's marriage to threaten them, and his father was still telling him to "accept his fate." Lin Mu calmly accepted Su Qing's confession, then turned around and opened his dusty textbooks. This time, he wouldn't accept his fate. When it came to business, he was terrifyingly cool-headed, setting up stalls, making wholesale runs, and seizing every opportunity in 2004, calculating every cent to the last detail. But with Su Qing, he still had the tenderness of a young man. Just as his first deal was about to close, a rival struck first, and the person behind it turned out to be an old acquaintance he'd dealt with in his previous life.
