    This book is highly recommended. Although it's not finished yet, the author updates 3-4 chapters daily. The male and female leads are ordinary people, both lovers in their past lives. The male lead died in a gang war, and the female lead survived for several years. Reborn, she swims to Hong Kong at lightning speed to find him. The two then work together, trading seafood and learning new skills to survive. Although reborn, the female lead has no special abilities or cheat codes; she only knows the general outline of her past life and isn't a prophet. The plot has two interwoven storylines: one follows the struggles of the ordinary people, and the other involves the angel investor, Young Master Chang, and his family's grudges. The two storylines complement each other.
