    Have you ever wondered what you would do if you could be reborn? Would you change your fate or perpetuate past regrets? The novel I'm recommending today offers its answer: the protagonist, Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai wakes up to find himself back in time, back when his father was the richest man in the county, but his father is about to go to jail. But Jiang Lai isn't afraid. He's full of confidence, believing he's the key to his father becoming the richest man in the country, and even the world. He makes no secret of his "vulgarity"—after getting rained on, he wants others to get rained on too, dreaming of being an arrogant and domineering rich second-generation. He even threatens others to mind their own business when bullying them. This seemingly villainous protagonist possesses a unique charm. How will he change his father's fate? What kind of story will his "vulgarity" bring him? This novel breaks with convention, unfolding from a unique perspective, full of twists and surprises, taking you on Jiang Lai's extraordinary path of rebirth.
