Legacy

Thirty-five years old, unemployed, with a debt of 170,000. Zhou Jibai is in the business of life planning, helping people manage their finances, change careers, resolve family conflicts, and make retirement plans - he is best at settling other people's accounts, but his own accounts are a mess. He found an old notebook without a name. On the first page, there is an old line of words: "Don't think you are helping people. You are just pointing out the way for destiny." Write down the plan, and fate will push you forward. But there are rules in this book: writing about oneself does not work; making decisions for others does not count; every time it is done, there will be an extra piece of ashes on him that cannot be wiped off. He had no choice but to settle the debts he had owed for half his life for those who were desperate: the warehouse manager who was laid off, the retired worker who was deceived into buying health care products, the old carpenter who waited for his wife to come back in a dilapidated house... As he wrote page after page, he gradually couldn't tell whether he was helping others, or whether fate was borrowing his hand to pay off the world's debts. The word "left behind" is written without any regrets.
