However, the gears of fate turn again, and he finds himself unable to completely escape the shadows of the past and the entanglement of Lu Shiguang. Through a series of choices, Lu Yigui gradually regains his dignity and strength, deciding to no longer be a puppet of fate but to rewrite his own destiny. **Keywords:** Rebirth, Cannon Fodder Counterattack, Family Feuds, Charming Protagonist, Heartbreaking Romance, Self-Redemption, Struggle Against Fate **Highlights:** - The protagonist, Lu Yigui, goes from a privileged young man to a cannon fodder villain, and then to a reborn counterattack, showcasing rich emotional layers and a well-developed character. - The plot is fast-paced and full of twists and turns, featuring both melodramatic power struggles within wealthy families and profound depictions of the protagonist's inner growth. - The supporting characters are vividly portrayed, especially Lu Shiguang's "hypocritical" character, who evokes both love and hate. - The protagonist's struggle against fate showcases the complexity and resilience of human nature, prompting deep reflection. **Suitable for:** Readers who enjoy stories of rebirth and triumph, family feuds, and poignant romance, especially those interested in tales of protagonists rising from the ashes and achieving self-redemption.

    This is an incredibly satisfying and enjoyable read! Everyone in the cast is intelligent, the protagonist isn't fixated on romance but is solely focused on climbing the social ladder, and all the major characters dote on him. The "from universally disliked to universally adored" trope is spot-on. There's no original owner of the body, it's a true return to basics, and it's absolutely thrilling!
