The Villain Is the Real Winner

Before the age of twenty-eight, Zou Yue thought he was Heaven's favorite, a winner in life. It wasn't until after twenty-eight that he realized the term loser in life described him perfectly.

Zou Yue counted it all up on his fingers. When he couldn't even go out without someone picking a fight with him, the so-called winners in life were overseas, chasing one another around and playing house. When he was in prison, tossing and turning with hunger in the middle of the night, the so-called winners in life were smashing a Manchu-Han banquet in a fit of romantic rage. When he was stabbed again and again, forwards and backwards, the so-called winners in life were happily returning home with their child.

At the same height, when Third Young Master Zou stood there, he was a spoiled brat. When a winner in life stood there, he was a victor.

Zou Yue lived for less than thirty-seven years in all. He had a childhood friend he'd known for over a decade, an old flame he'd pined for thirteen years, and a longtime rival he'd been at odds with for more than twenty years. In the end, they joined hands and headed toward a bright future, while he, Zou Yue, stupidly fell apart completely.

At first, he thought Heaven was messing with him. Later, Zou Yue decided that Heaven really was messing with him. Another bullet sent him back twenty years. After dying and coming back to life, Zou Yue finally understood: he was nothing more than a villain and cannon fodder in a book.

Tch. But since he, Zou Yue, has the chance to do it all over again, can all those unbearable people just get lost?
