I Said Be a Super Rich, Not a Scumbag!

Poor guy Lin Chuan accidentally binds the "Mega Millionaire Justice System"—his only mission: love his childhood sweetheart Su Wan, and he'll get billions; if he's "scummy," everything resets! But Su Wan had fled abroad, saying "I don't want to be poor with you anymore." After transforming, Lin Chuan blocked the airport with a limited-edition supercar and gave her a diamond necklace engraved with "Eating instant noodles together," only to be told by Su Wan: "Your fawning now is more disgusting than your past poverty." She'd seen him talking cooperation with a "female CEO" and thought he'd become a scumbag relying on women! Little did she know the "CEO" was a system tester, and the real reason Su Wan avoided him was leukemia—she feared her chemotherapy-bald self would drag him down. When the system ordered "reveal Su Wan's medical records," Lin Chuan smashed the terminal: "I don't want money—I want to hold you and say 'I'll take care of you,' even if you have only three months left!" When the twist unfolded, Su Wan touched the instant noodle burn on his hand and cried: "I thought you'd be afraid of me dying in your arms..." Turns out the system's real purpose was never to make him rich, but to let him dare say to the one he loves: "I'm not afraid."

Reborn in the 80s: I Lead My Aunt to a Glorious Life

In a 1985 Shanghai alley, Lin Xiaoman stared at Shen Xiufen, who was squatting in front of her tailor shop mending pants—this woman, who was exploited by her in-laws, lost her son to illness, and ended up collecting scraps in her previous life, was still smiling apologetically for a 50-cent手工 fee. Reborn, Lin Xiaoman clutched the food stamps in her pocket, determined to shove future business opportunities into her aunt’s hands: first, help her keep the shop her brother-in-law was trying to steal, then teach her to make Hong Kong-style jeans and batwing shirts printed with Teresa Teng’s portrait, even drag her to set up a stall at Chenghuang Temple to earn “side money.” But when Director Zhou from the state-owned garment factory came to stir trouble, and when her aunt held the saved hundred-yuan bill and cried, “I never dared to dream of such a life,” Lin Xiaoman realized: what she wanted to save wasn’t just her aunt’s life, but also the version of herself who was crushed by the times, too scared to even say “I want.” This time, they’ll turn the tiny “Xiufen Tailor Shop” into the most famous brand on Shanghai’s first “fashion street”—and all the regrets from the past life will become the courage to live this one.
