A Happy Life Starting as a Materials Clerk in the County Town

Li Nian, a promising employee at a major foreign company who was under close scrutiny for promotion, worked himself to exhaustion and collapsed in the office.

When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn in 2008, just after graduating.

This time, he wouldn't stay in Shanghai to be worked like an ox. He took his work assignment papers back to his hometown, a small county town.

He started out as a junior supplies clerk at a wholesale company, making a living with his writing.

He wrote radio dramas, reports, and newspaper articles, becoming a columnist and a renowned online novelist.

With the experience of two lifetimes, a pen, a lamp, and a computer, he would create a literary miracle.

He would experience the warmth and coldness of human relationships in a small county town, and personally live through the joys and sorrows he had once missed: affection and love, family and friends, as well as intrigues and shrewd calculations.

He wasn't looking to outdo anyone. He only wanted a happy and fulfilling life.

When the parasol tree grows tall, the phoenix is sure to come; when flowers are fragrant, butterflies follow.
