Reborn: Building a Business Empire from College

[Reborn, campus entrepreneurship, multiple heroines, romantic rivalries, business battles, the 2010s] Lu Zhiyuan, a 34-year-old internet operations director, died suddenly at his desk after working overtime for forty hours straight. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the summer of 2010. He had just turned eighteen, and the college entrance exams were over. Everything could start anew. That year, the iPhone 4 had just launched, Weibo was taking off, and group-buying sites were locked in a battle among thousands. Meituan had yet to grow big, WeChat had yet to be born, and the golden age of the mobile internet was just beginning. In his previous life, he had fought tooth and nail to become a director, only to end up alone, without even having time to enjoy life. This time, he would start as a freshman and build his way up, from running errands around campus to creating a local-services platform, from smart hardware to a business empire. But understanding people was harder than doing business. The gentle, reserved Su Nian always brought him a glass of warm water when he was at his lowest. The proud, radiant Jiang Wanqing had a defiant glint in her phoenix eyes. Two girls, two relationships. He didn’t want to let either of them down, yet he kept hurting them both. “I’ve been given another life. I want it all!” Lu Zhiyuan set himself a goal. All the opportunities he had missed before, he would seize with both hands this time. This is a story of being reborn, starting a business, and navigating a romantic minefield, with both the cut and thrust of business rivalries and the tender warmth of campus romance.
