Ji Nian died in an accident caused by a falling object.
When she opened her eyes again, she had gone back twenty years. With no money and no family to turn to, she had no choice but to go to her father.
At the time, Ji Zechen, the richest man in S City, was still a failing student who had scored 28 on a monthly exam and was being chased around by his father for a beating.
Ji Nian looked at her father, then at her furious grandfather, and began to doubt her memories. Weren't they supposed to say he'd been an excellent student and top of his class since childhood?
Just because he's a kid, does that mean he can make things up as he pleases?!

Ji Zechen had lately been troubled by an unexpected visitor to his home. She looked a lot like his father, was several years younger than him, and was obviously his father's illegitimate daughter.
Before Ji Zechen could even make his position clear, she called him "Dad," and his soul nearly left his body.
The paternity test shattered Ji Zechen's last hope. The rookie dad had no choice but to take his daughter, who was a year younger than him, to school.
As time went by, Ji Zechen gradually accepted his sweet, well-behaved daughter.
She was perfect in every way, except for how she kept urging him to transfer schools to find her mother.
Ji Zechen snapped, "What do you think this is, a tadpole looking for its mother?"
Looking at her real dad's unconcerned expression, Ji Nian patiently explained, "You used to say that your biggest regret was not meeting Mom sooner when you were young!"
Armed with memories of the future, she was determined to bring her parents together, but her dad was stubborn and dismissed everything she said.
Until one day, Ji Zechen met a young woman on the street and fell in love at first sight. The arrogant little tyrant finally lowered his head to his daughter, stammering, "Sweetheart, what does your mom like at this point in her life?"
Ji Nian: "..."
Sure enough, realizing you were wrong might come late, but it never goes away.
