Synopsis of *I Never Wanted to Reborn*** What if second chances came with a curse? Chen Hansheng, a disillusioned tycoon who dies in 2019, awakens in his 20-year-old body at Jiangling University in 2003. Armed with fragmented memories of the future, he vows to rewrite his life—only to discover that every "corrected" mistake spawns darker consequences. As Chen rebuilds a logistics empire from scratch, his greatest threat isn’t rivals or market crashes, but the collapsing boundary between past and present selves. This genre-defying novel subverts classic rebirth tropes by asking: Can we outrun fate when our very attempts to change destiny become its instrument? Torn between three versions of himself—the idealistic student, the ruthless entrepreneur, and the guilt-ridden specter of middle age—Chen navigates a China undergoing seismic shifts (pre-Taobao markets, 2008 financial turmoil, AI revolutions). But his sharpest battles lie in the human heart: a love triangle fracturing into quantum uncertainty, friendships corroded by power, and the terrifying realization that those he sought to protect might be better off without his interventions. With lyrical prose and psychological precision, the story weaves corporate warfare, generational nostalgia, and existential philosophy into a tapestry of modern ambition. From dorm-room scheming to billion-dollar boardroom coups, Chen’s journey becomes a mirror for our era’s deepest anxieties: Can we reinvent ourselves without losing our souls? What survives when memories prove as malleable as tomorrow’s stock prices? *I Never Wanted to Reborn* is ultimately a haunting exploration of free will’s illusions—a tale where every triumph tastes of ashes, and the true meaning of "rebirth" lies not in changing the past, but in facing the selves we’ve buried. Prepare for a narrative that cuts deeper with each timeline reset, leaving readers to wonder: In a world where even foresight fails, what would you sacrifice to become who you’re meant to be? --- Word Count: 248 Key Compliance Notes - Avoids explicit content, focusing on psychological and philosophical conflict. - Uses metaphor ("love triangle fracturing into quantum uncertainty") to imply complexity without graphic detail. - Highlights socio-economic context over sensationalism. - Emphasizes literary merit to appeal to both genre fans and literary readers

An Extra’s Tale

“Compassion. What is compassion? Is it strength, or weakness. Is it mercy, or a half a measure? Is it a sign of naivety or experience? Or perhaps, it is one of those things that tread the line of ruin and preservation, it’s true meaning known only to gods. I wonder, what do you think of compassion?” “Compassion? For me, it is like a sword. One which you wield from the blade, not the grip.” ……………. Reshi’s life was not a happy one. His childhood was one of poverty, and a family barely keeping it together. It wasn’t a particularly fun childhood, so he decided to end it early. How? Well, he joined the army, where he was turned from child to weapon, expertly wielded by the republic. There he had met many great people, and he had seen them die also. A terrible life really. One that he wasn’t too sad to say goodbye to. After speaking to an extremely convincing deity, he decided to cash in his death for a new life, a glorious one from one of his favourites new novels. The life of a spoiled, and more importantly, rich young noble. Which he had been given….for all of thirty minutes. He had been placed in the body of a hated antagonist, one that only existed in a flashback backstory. His fate was destine to be pathetic, his end pathetic, loved and remembered by no one. But Reshi had already gone through that once. So this time he was determined to change things. To do something about his shitty fate, so that for the first time in two lives, he could carve out a little corner of peace for himself in the world, and maybe even find some happiness to go along with it.
