Lina Chen wakes from a coma with her engagement ring, her ex-boyfriend's face in her mind, and no memory of the past two years. To her shock, a ring adorns her finger—not the one her ex gave her. A pair of twins call her "mama." And a devastatingly handsome CEO, Ethan Blackwood, claims to be her husband. She doesn't recognize any of them. Terrified and disoriented, Lina rejects this strange new life and returns to her family and her ex-boyfriend, Ryan—the man she believes she was about to marry. They welcome her with open arms. But something is wrong. Ryan is unusually close to her best friend, Chloe. Her parents dodge every question about Ethan. And no one can explain why she has a scar on her wrist or why she flinches at the sight of stairs. Then the memories begin to surface in fragments. A restraining order against Ryan. Chloe's hand on her back—pushing. A letter Lina wrote before the coma: "If I forget, find me. Don't give up." Lina secretly reconnects with Ethan and the twins. He doesn't pressure her to remember. He simply shows her evidence—videos, documents, a diary—that paints a horrifying picture: her coma wasn't an accident. Her memory loss was induced. And the people she trusts most are the ones who erased her. Now Lina must pretend she's still lost while piecing together the truth. Because the closer she gets to remembering, the closer someone gets to silencing her forever. She thought she woke to a nightmare. But the real nightmare is the life she's desperate to forget.

Lin Feng's greatest regret wasn't how he died - it was how he lived. At forty, broke and bitter, Lin Feng had become a ghost at class reunions. While his former roommates posted photos of family vacations and their children's graduations, he was job-hopping between positions that barely covered rent. While old classmates celebrated promotions to VP and director roles, he was explaining to yet another manager why he was a "good fit" for an entry-level position. His parents had stopped asking when he'd get married. His relatives had stopped asking what he did for work. Even his reflection had stopped looking him in the eye. The scholarship to university, the opportunities in Hangzhou's booming tech scene, the chance to ride China's economic explosion - he'd squandered it all through hesitation, fear, and poor choices. Twenty years of "I'll do it tomorrow." Twenty years of watching others take the risks he was too afraid to take. Then he wakes up on September 1st, 2020. First day of university. Again. Armed with twenty years of memories and knowledge of a future that hasn't happened yet, Lin Feng knows exactly which companies will explode, which cryptocurrencies will moon, which opportunities his classmates are about to miss. Knows which stocks will crash and which will soar, knows the names of tomorrow's billionaires when they're still nobody. But that's not even his biggest advantage. The Infinite Money System has awakened within him - a cheat-like ability that seems designed to hand him the wealth he always wanted. Unlimited money. Financial freedom. The power to rewrite every mistake. Or so he thought. Join Lin Feng as he navigates the cutthroat world of university entrepreneurship, untangles the mysteries of his seemingly perfect system, all while trying to build generational wealth and avoid making the same mistakes.
