Ye Xu, a man of fame and immense wealth, is reborn before a car crash back to June 2001, when he is nothing but a pathetic husband who drinks all day, owes rent, and depends on his wife Bai Xiao to support the family. The early deaths of his wife and daughter in a car accident in his previous life, before they could enjoy any happiness, remain the deepest pain of his existence. Given a second chance, he vows to give them a good life. Facing an indifferent wife, a timid daughter, and a landlord demanding repayment at the door, Ye Xu begins mending his family ties by cooking a meal and keeping his promise to buy a doll. At the same time, drawing on memories of his past life, he seeks out the opportunities of this era, starting a business from scratch, accumulating his first fortune, and gradually shedding his image as a good-for-nothing in the eyes of relatives. He is soon drawn into business partnerships and corporate rivalries, and ultimately both his career and family life converge and settle into place.Editor's review
A typical rebirth-to-make-amends plus urban farming and business-strategy novel. The early part focuses on a prodigal's return and family repair, full of everyday warmth; wife Bai Xiao's coldness and wariness are realistically written, and the contrast of struggle then triumph is clear. Suited to readers who like era rebirth and watching a protagonist rise from rock bottom. Weaknesses: some readers note casually chosen character names and flawed plot logic, formulaic supporting characters and business sections, and a slightly dragging later corporate arc.Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who like rebirth and making amends
- Readers who prefer urban farming and era entrepreneurship
- Readers who like prodigal-return family storylines
Not a good fit for
- Hardcore readers seeking strong logic and intricate scheming
- Readers who dislike harems or insufficiently devoted romance
Reading tips
- Read the early family-repair section closely to appreciate the motivation behind the protagonist's change of heart.
- Note the era-opportunity clues planted in chapters and compare them with later business plotlines.
- If the middle drags, skim repetitive daily-conflict passages and focus on key turning points.
