Reborn: The Best Cosmetic Surgery for a Stand-In

Qiao Fei's life was filled with words like “compromise” and “backing down.”

As a teenager, at his parents' request, he compromised and backed down, giving up the chance to change his fate by continuing his education.

When he first fell in love, the burden of his family made him compromise and back down, and he missed out on a sweet, innocent first love.

As a young man, because of his seriously ill younger sister, he compromised and backed down, becoming a pawn in a game of love.

By the end of his life, he had nothing left and nowhere else to retreat. He thought, If there's a next life, I don't want to back down again.

Darkness descended, and then came the light.

When Qiao Fei opened his eyes again, he found himself in a world much like the one he'd lived in, yet different.

This time, he had nothing.

This time, he had everything.

Qiao Fei soon realized there was something strange about this new world.

The domineering CEO who used to summon him at a whim and dismiss him just as easily confessed his true feelings to him;

His former rival, who had never been able to stand him, now did everything he asked;

The unattainable sweetheart who had once treated him like an insignificant insect was now doing everything to seduce him;

The friend who had once sworn to cut ties with him was now utterly devoted to him;

And on top of that, the junior from his department, the doctor next door, his business partner... Everyone seemed to look at him differently by the day.

After much soul-searching, Qiao Fei could only sigh:

“Being reborn really is a makeover for a stand-in.”

[Reader's Guide]

1. A melodramatic story with an entire cast of unhinged men, including the protagonist. Everyone's thought processes are questionable.

2. Love rival showdowns and regret-filled redemption arcs. The protagonist is probably a heartthrob (maybe?).

3. Romance in stages, with no set ending.

Theme: Forge ahead and turn the tide.
