Young Lin Yan was tricked into signing a loan guarantee of 200,000 yuan by his roommate Jiang Chen in his previous life. He ended up with a huge debt and a tragic ending where his family was on the verge of being broken up.
In despair on the verge of death, he unexpectedly awakened the ability to "recall the price", which allowed him to reverse time and go back to the past to rewrite the tragedy. However, every time he went back, he had to permanently sacrifice a part of his humanity as the price.
Looking back for the first time, he abandoned his soft-hearted compassion and exposed the scam to his face when the conspiracy was about to break out. However, due to the lack of irrefutable evidence, Jiang Chen and his family conspired to cover up the crime, and he could only let the evildoers get away with it.
In order to prevent Jiang Chen from continuing to harm others, Lin Yan once again triggered his obsession, sacrificed his guilt, and turned back time to the beginning of the conspiracy. This time, he no longer passively defended himself, but chose to remain dormant, secretly collecting all the clues, pretending to be weak, and luring Jiang Chen to reveal the entire plan to harm the person in person, and recording irrefutable audio evidence.
In the face of irrefutable evidence, Jiang Chen's hard-working sunshine persona suddenly collapsed, and he was severely punished by being placed on probation and recorded as a stain in the file. He paid a heavy price for his vicious plan.
The crisis was completely resolved, and Lin Yan avoided the disaster of his previous life. But the price is also truly imprinted on the soul: pity and guilt disappear forever, facing the care of loved ones, the reason is still clear, but the warm emotions can no longer arise in the heart.
The core of the story is a cruel game: the victory of changing fate against nature is based on the constant separation of one's own humanity as a bargaining chip. I have defeated the evil in the outside world, but I have also lost my once fresh and warm self little by little.
