Summary

Reborn as a Profligate is an urban supernatural web novel by the writer Bu Ye Shen Suan, first launched around 2011 on the Jiuku Literature Network and later serialized and completed on the iQiyi Literature platform, totaling 411 chapters. The story begins with a car crash: Zheng Hui, a youth of the prestigious Zheng family of Yanjing, dies gravely injured in a street race (some say he is gravely wounded and near death), and the soul of an ordinary young man from the grassroots, scraping by at the bottom, seizes the opportunity to possess him, merging with the original owner's memories and inheriting the young body's wealthy-family identity. The awakened "Young Master Zheng" abandons his former useless ways, and at the same time unexpectedly awakens a mental ability called "Yuanli," which grows stronger against stronger foes and repeatedly breaks established rules. Declaring that he will become "the profligate among profligates," he acts the fool, bullies the weak, and swaggers on the surface, while in truth he is deep-scheming and skilled at borrowing others' power, crushing opponents by the weight of his influence. The plot starts in Huaishui City: he defuses a family poisoning crisis, becomes involved in underground bare-knuckle boxing and the struggles of underground forces, and navigates dealings with the cold beauty bodyguard Xiao Yuan, the assassin beauty Xue Die, and others, before crossing the river like a fierce dragon to return to Yanjing, where he is drawn into the games among princelings, playing the pig to eat the tiger while quietly pocketing the gains. As larger forces such as the Penglai Holy Land intervene, Zheng Hui expands his family's business empire while settling old scores from his past life, ultimately propelling the Zheng family into the ranks of the top-tier magnates. The novel's keynote is "I am a profligate, free and easy; I am a profligate, leaving behind a legend"—a typical male-oriented urban power-fantasy web novel.

Editor's review

这是一部典型的都市重生爽文：夺舍、异能、豪门、扮猪吃虎，把男频读者最熟悉的几样“配方”炖在一口锅里。它的看点不在精巧的结构，而在节奏与情绪——开局车祸夺舍几乎不给缓冲，紧接着就是赌约、摊牌、打脸，一章一个小高潮，读起来毫不费神。作者卜爷神算对“纨绔”这一身份的处理颇有几分自嘲式的爽感：主角并不真的无脑嚣张，而是把跋扈当作伪装，把权势当作武器，表面的荒唐底下藏着算计，这种“明着坏、暗着精”的反差正是全书最耐读的部分。作品从淮水市写到燕京，从家族内斗写到地下势力与圣地介入，格局层层放大，配角如冷艳保镖萧媛、杀手雪蝶也各有辨识度。需要提醒的是，本书是纯娱乐向的网文，情节套路化、女性角色塑造偏刻板，阅读时不妨当作消遣而非严肃文学。若你偏爱《赘婿》式的算计感与都市异能的热血感叠加，这书值得一翻。
