Once reborn, Chen Zhe found that he had returned to the past, back to the starting point... And he also saw his past self.
At the beginning, it was clear that he just wanted to protect the Chen family from decline, and to protect his former self so that he would not have to experience what he had experienced... But, later on...
Why am I covered in mud and you are clean? Why do I fall into the abyss while you live under the sun? We are all the same person, why did I go through so much and bear all the pain, but you knew nothing?
Ridiculous, really ridiculous. You ask me if I have ever liked you, even a little bit... And my answer is: Never. I just want to drag you into the quagmire. I want to see you go from being a blank slate to being stained by me a little bit. Don't you like me? Since you like me, then fall into the darkness with me...
Intention: Growth happens unexpectedly
