   Reader note

   The reborn protagonist honestly relies on his memories of his past life and the knowledge he's gained in this one to hunt for bargains at a demolition site in Shanghai in 2003. He has no cheat codes or superpowers, only his own brain and clear thinking. The author treats this character quite well, preventing him from becoming a womanizer, from taking advantage of his wealth to have affairs after marrying, and from easily succumbing to overly compassionate emotions. That's good.
