One day, when Chen Busong was twenty-eight, she stayed up all night and woke up in the body of a seventeen-year-old girl.
Yes, that's right. The girl was also called Chen Busong. She looked the same, had the same personality, and even had the same parents.
Unfortunately, this was a parallel world. Chen Busong was eleven years younger and had to take the college entrance exams all over again.
After getting used to the good life of takeout, delivery services, and short videos, she had to face another year of high school. Chen Busong just wanted to go back to sleep and never wake up.
Whoever wanted to be reborn could be reborn. Chen Busong, who had already achieved a modest degree of financial freedom, certainly didn't want to. But when she saw her grandmother again, she suddenly thought, What's so scary about the college entrance exams?
She gave it a try. It didn't work. So she gave up.
Still, after all those extra years of life experience, she could at least use an unconventional route to help an arts student get into college.
Chen Busong, a freshman in the journalism department at Yuzhou University of Finance and Economics, Class of 2002, realized that her roommate, Lin Xiaoqian, had a strangely familiar name. Then one day, she remembered that Lin Xiaoqian was the heroine of a novel she'd read.
And that was it. She couldn't remember anything else about the story.
She only knew that all the everyday details that didn't add up had come from somewhere. Zhou Min, you romance-obsessed idiot, if you're going to write a novel, could you at least get your facts straight and stick to your story? Fine, you can make up the historical setting as you go, but you really had the nerve to leave it unfinished after ten chapters?
Chen Busong really wanted to beat up her flaky best friend. Unfortunately, she was inside the book, so all she could do was teach her friend through firsthand experience never to write another one. Thanks.
Chen Busong decided to return to her old profession of writing. She especially loved ordering a cup of coffee at a cafe and writing all afternoon.
That's where she met Zhao Yuantang from Yuda, and witnessed the infamous way he coldly handled his ex-girlfriend. Chen Busong immediately labeled him a jerk.
So when Zhao Yuantang struck up a conversation with her, and her grandmother started pressuring her to get a boyfriend, an idea was born.
For years afterward, Chen Busong would pay for that terrible idea.
Zhao Yuantang had always thought dating was simple, at least for him. When it came to romance, he either wanted to date someone or he didn't. He'd never wanted to date someone and failed to make it happen.
He believed a person should always carry themselves with dignity and be a gentleman. He looked down on people who were hopelessly lovesick. Begging for love and affection was ugly. How could anyone make things so difficult for themselves?
At first, Zhao Yuantang thought Chen Busong was an interesting girl. It took him a while to realize that the woman had no heart.
But he, Zhao Yuantang, had plenty of tricks and stamina. He could spend the rest of his life wearing her down.
A comedy about getting trapped in your best friend's unfinished novel: What do you do? You do what you have to. Life is your own, and nothing else matters.
Theme: Love yourself before loving someone else, and build your fortune before chasing romance.
