    Introduction: [Overview of 90 + Rebirth and Revenge + Refreshing Story of Broken Relationships + The Male Protagonist Appears Late + The Female Protagonist Lives Only for Herself + Mainly Makes a Fortune] As soon as Gong Xi opened her eyes, she found herself back in 1997. In that year, she turned eighteen and was on her way to rob a gold shop. Her father, who owed usury, sold Gong Xi to make romance movies to pay off the debt. Desperate, Gong Xi had no choice but to find a way to send himself to prison. He finally got out of prison, started a new life, and worked hard to build a small career, but he was stabbed to death by his eldest sister again. Once again, Gong Xi only wants to live for herself. She doesn't want to let go of the black society who forced her to sell her body, her father who is a compulsive gambler, her mother who helps others commit crimes, or her envious and jealous eldest sister. Many years later, when the enemies knelt down one by one and begged to be let go, Gong Xi responded coldly: "You didn't let me go at the beginning, so why should I let you go!"

    Abandoning the clichéd kidnapping and coercion plot, it relies purely on high-intelligence layout to promote transnational espionage. The high-tech settings such as beefish bugs and deep-sea detection devices are novel, and multiple reversals are advanced layer by layer, creating a full sense of suspense.
