Reborn in 2008: The Secretary's Heaven-Defying Fate

In his previous life, Zhang Gang was a financial tycoon worth tens of billions, but his heart was full of regret. Early in his career, while working as a secretary in the Municipal Party Committee Office, he was framed by his colleague Wang Haitao and forced to take the blame, then resigned. He went south and seized the opportunities of the 2008 crisis, the 2015 stock market crash, and the Bitcoin boom, earning tens of billions. But his parents died from years of overwork, and his younger sister suffered after dropping out of school at a young age. In the end, wealth could not make up for his regrets.

After a dream, he returned to 2008, becoming a twenty-five-year-old junior staffer at the Municipal Party Committee Office. He also awakened a divine pocket dimension bound to his old canvas schoolbag.

At first, the space was only as large as the schoolbag. It accumulated energy through good deeds and stopping evil. Time stood still inside, allowing him to preserve evidence and safeguard keys. No outsider could detect it, but it could not store living things. The price, however, was cruel: the more he interfered with reality, the hazier his memories of the future became. Details about people and events would change, so he could not rely blindly on foreknowledge.

All he wanted was to keep a low profile, protect the people who had helped him and his family, and seek neither wealth nor power. But workplace schemes kept coming, while the tides of the times swept him along at every turn.

To make money, he had to hide his wealth. Using the space to protect himself would cost him memories. His desire to lie low clashed with the price of his trump card.

Amid the undercurrents of officialdom and the opportunities of the financial world, Zhang Gang weighs the pros and cons and sets out to change his fate and make up for his regrets.
