Reborn: Bound to My White Moonlight Forever

[Rebirth + Campus + Business Wars + Mystery]

Lin Zhao is reborn, returning to the summer of 2009.

In her previous life, she was a forensic pathologist. She saw countless dead souls beneath her scalpel, yet could never dissect her own life.

At nineteen, the person she loved most dumped her with the excuse, "You're too young and you have no money." At twenty, her father was gravely injured and left disabled. At twenty-one, her mother worked three jobs to afford a single medication. At twenty-four, she worked herself to the bone to make money, yet couldn't cure her family's poverty. In the end, all her friends drifted away, and she was left alone.

Given another life, she finally understood: poverty was the root of every problem.

So she returned to the world, armed with her hard-won ability to see through people.

She started with a fried rice stall, then squeezed her first funds out of a fishmonger who was a real shark. She fed investors exactly the information gaps she wanted them to have, turned the forensic reasoning she'd learned at the autopsy table into novels, saved a workwear factory, built a website, opened a milk tea shop, and steadily expanded her business empire.

Others thought she was ordinary. In truth, she was using every bit of sharpness she'd honed in her previous life to pave an impregnable road for this one.

But there was one person who always made her lose her composure.

Sun Zhen, the one who had once dismissed her as "poor and going nowhere," was still living like a prisoner in this life: her domineering mother pressured her to marry, her life was suffocatingly constrained, and stress twisted her stomach with pain day and night.

She was used to hiding her true self, so well that even she wanted to believe the lie.

Until one day, she saw a child squatting by the roadside selling boxed meals, making several thousand in just a few days, eyes blazing with a wild, untamed light.

She couldn't help drawing closer. At first, it was curiosity. Then she felt for that figure racing forward with all her might. And later... by the time she realized it, there was no turning back. So she fought her way upward, all for the sake of protecting her one day.

Lin Zhao watched Sun Zhen draw closer, step by step, and smiled as she forced down the sting in her eyes.

In my last life, I was poor and had no right to ask you to stay. This time, I have money. If you come close again, don't blame me for clinging to you and never letting go.
