Reborn in 2008: I Beat Everyone to Bitcoin

In 2026, forty-year-old Zhou Ye was delivering takeout on a rainy night when a luxury car hit and killed him beneath an overpass in Rongcheng. He had just 37.5 yuan in his wallet.

When he opened his eyes again, it was October 15, 2008, in the early hours of the morning, in a rental room by Jiukong Bridge.

The financial crisis was at its worst. People across the city were cutting their losses and fleeing, but he alone knew where the bottom was.

When the Shanghai Composite Index hit 1,664 points, he went all in. He anonymously released the Bitcoin white paper before Satoshi Nakamoto. He locked down supply contracts ahead of the four-trillion-yuan infrastructure stimulus.

From clearing debts in three days with nothing but empty promises, to joining his brothers to scrape together 100,000 yuan for their first big score, then steadily building a business empire in building materials, logistics, social media, beauty, short videos, and investment: this time around, he would make those who owed him pay, with interest, and he would make amends for everything he owed, even if it cost him his life.

He is fiercely protective, giving his all to his brothers and family. He is ruthless with his enemies, striking first and talking later. And the women by his side, once treated cruelly by fate, each grow into powerful leaders in their own right.

No one knows that deep in this young man's computer lies roughly a million digital coins capable of shaking the world. It's the trump card he won't reveal until the endgame.
