Lu Xize went from being the Lu family's heir to a disabled outcast, then rose to the top again, all in just five years.
Ten years later, after dealing with everyone through ruthless means, he stood atop Linjiang, looking down at them all without a care. He had returned to the top.
But when he opened his eyes again, he was back ten years earlier.
Ten years ago, he had been in a car accident and lost the use of his legs. It took three years and sheer willpower for him to make a miraculous recovery.

Jiang Che wakes up inside a novel without knowing who he is, only that he has somehow gained a husband.
On the night he first arrives, he's trapped in a room aboard a cruise ship with nowhere to escape, when a whole crowd bursts in and catches him in bed with someone.
He gets caught twice, in fact.
The first group is his supposedly disabled fiance. The second is a pack of news media hounds.
Jiang Che: Whatever. ╮(╯_╰)╭
Jiang Che: I'm a longtime reader of Green River, after all.
The media get a tip and excitedly burst through the door with their cameras raised.
The next second, they all freeze in shock:
Jiang Che, who should have been found in bed in a state of undress, is straddling Lu Xize, gazing at him with undisguised desire, his voice low and slightly husky.
"What?" Jiang Che smirks. "You know it's illegal to interrupt someone's honeymoon, right?"
Everyone is stunned.
Lu Xize's dark, cold eyes are also fixed on him.
"Get out."
The paparazzi scramble away in a panic.
Jiang Che's eyes go wide with curiosity: Oh? He's kind of handsome.
The next second, those mocking, dark eyes turn toward him.
Lu Xize grabs him by the chin.
"I meant you." Lu Xize narrows his eyes, his gaze icy. "Get off me."
But the person in front of him suddenly bites his lip, his eyes turning red as he puts on a pitiful expression. "I'm carrying your child... How can you treat me like this?"
"Aren't you worried the baby will hear you?"
Lu Xize: "..."
The disposable male character in the room: "..."
The housekeeper, just about to enter: "..."
Lu Xize's brow furrows. "Then give birth to it and show me."
The housekeeper wipes the cold sweat from his forehead. "Young Master Jiang, a man and a man... they can't... uh..."
Still sitting on Lu Xize, Jiang Che scratches his head and says, "Oh, right. My bad. I got carried away."
Jiang Che: So male spouses in this world don't have a pregnancy ABO system?
Jiang Che: Why didn't anyone say so sooner? 0.0
Lu Xize had thought being reborn would mean walking the thorny road to glory all over again.
But this time, the person walking beside him seems to be the most interesting part.
A wicked smile plays in Lu Xize's dark eyes as he presses a hand against Jiang Che's smooth, soft belly. "Hey, when are you getting pregnant?"
Jiang Che: Hand me your phone.
Jiang Che, weakly: Hello, is this 11x? There's a man here with delusions about pregnancy. Please come take him away.
Lu Xize: Dream on :)
Jiang Che: .
