She Smiled Very Innocently

The protagonist Chen Hao, born in 1989, is already middle-aged in 2025. He and his wife Lin Xiaoyu have a son and a daughter, and live a plain but slightly cramped life. His father Chen Jianguo died early due to illness, which was a wound in his heart that would never heal. As we get older, the memories of childhood become more and more vivid - those afternoons when we secretly went to Internet cafes, those weekends when we could have spent more time with our father, those exam papers that failed but were never seriously corrected... One late autumn evening in 2025, Chen Hao fainted while sorting out his father's belongings. When he opened his eyes again, it was the afternoon after the college entrance examination results were released in June 2011. He has no powers, no system, no golden fingers - all he has is the memory of fourteen years: which year the stock market will soar, which concept stock will take off, which city's housing prices are at a historical low, which product will subvert the industry, which natural disaster will bring about great changes to the place... This time, he will replace laziness with self-discipline, ignorance with foresight, and regret with action. He wants his father to live longer, his family to live a better life, and he also wants to find the girl who will be with him for the rest of his life - Lin Xiaoyu, his wife, at the moment, is just a strange girl in the dormitory next door. This is the rebirth of an ordinary middle-aged man. There is no bloody fighting, only the humaneness and calm planning tempered over the years.
