Name: Reborn: Fashion King
Author: Ultraman in the City1

Synopsis

In 2009, the chill of the financial crisis swept across the globe, and the luxury industry stood on the brink. Christian Lacroix declared bankruptcy, major brands laid off workers and shut down stores, and panic gripped Paris's fashion world.

In the coldest winter the industry had ever seen, Li Xun stood at 31 Rue Cambon. He was a Chanel designer, trained by Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, and had quietly worked at this temple of fashion for four years.

No one knew that this seemingly gifted young man from the East was actually a reborn person carrying memories of the future.

In his previous life, he had only just managed to get into an independent designer's studio in Paris at the age of thirty, before finally collapsing at his desk from overwork.

He woke up one day back in 1986, starting his life over as a baby with a pacifier in his mouth.

In 2009 Paris, Karl Lagerfeld was at the peak of his creativity, John Galliano was having one last wild ride at Dior, Stefano Pilati was struggling to keep YSL afloat, and Martin Margiela was about to retire. It was the eve of fashion's twilight of the gods, and the final glory of an era.

Liu Yifei as the Sole Female Lead

Xixi may be doing all right in real life, but I hope she has a better life in novels. Qidian is flooded with entertainment-industry stories written just to cash in, so I made this list to help everyone avoid the duds. The books I picked may not be great, but they're definitely not problematic.
