Summary

Bai Lu, known as the nation's daughter, dies in a car accident on her twenty-eighth birthday and is reborn back at eighteen, at the moment she wakes from a coma after a ski slope accident while filming her first lead role. In her previous life, she was framed and ruined by her adoptive sister Shen Xinluo; her biological father, the film emperor Lu Yiting, took the blame for his fake daughter and then took his own life. Given a second chance, Bai Lu resolves to do three things: take revenge, claim her father, and make money. She pretends to have amnesia and plays weak while maneuvering within the Shen family, gradually reversing public opinion through medical staff and paparazzi on the scene, while seeking a chance to reunite with Lu Yiting. She also becomes entangled with Huo Yan, the world's richest man, and ultimately holds a perfect wedding.

Editor's review

A typical rebirth entertainment-industry power-fantasy story: fast-paced with frequent face-slapping, the amnesia-pretending counterattack against the white lotus is satisfying, and the father-daughter reunion and sweet romance arcs are appealing. It suits readers looking to relax after work and enjoy wish-fulfillment moments; the weakness is that at nearly three hundred chapters it becomes somewhat long-winded, the supporting cast and romance progression are formulaic, and the prose is mostly colloquial snark.

Reading tips

  1. The early amnesia-counterattack sections are tight; read the hospital and film-crew arcs consecutively before judging
  2. Follow the revenge line as the main thread; the romance can be skimmed, then revisited at the late wedding finale
  3. Long works can cause fatigue; take breaks by revenge stage rather than forcing through in one go
