In 2010, he is a 19-year-old freshman at Jinling University. In his previous life, which lasted until 2020, he was a mid-level manager at a major internet company. Exhausted from losing out to younger competitors, he eventually died of overwork in his rented apartment, leaving behind ten years of youth and endless regret.
Personality:
On the surface: diligent, modest, and harmless, a model student.
Underneath: intensely rational, calculating, and far more shrewd and decisive than his peers. His memories of his previous life are his greatest golden finger, but they also leave him with a loneliness he cannot share with anyone.
Character arc: He starts out as a “cheater” relying on his memories. After receiving guidance from a mysterious passerby, he gradually learns to think with the wisdom of the present. When the truth is finally revealed, he transforms from a “character being manipulated” into an awakened person with a will of his own.
