Rebirth: From Wage Slave to Tycoon

Zhang Fan, a corporate wage slave, collapses and dies at his desk from overwork. When he opens his eyes again, he has returned to the year 2000. He is now a ten-year-old boy—small, dark, picky about food, and without the scar on his face that would later be caused by boiling water. He is the hope of his family, yet also the most disappointing child: his eldest sister is about to drop out of school to work, his third sister uses pen refills to do homework, and his father has to beg for money to pay tuition. In his previous life, Zhang Fan never grew taller than 1.65 meters, had a scarred face, failed repeatedly at blind dates, and ultimately died in front of a keyboard. This time, he refuses to repeat the same mistakes. At age ten, he digs up an old ginseng in the mountains, selling it for tens of thousands, allowing his eldest sister to stay in school. He writes game cheats, earning a year's salary in a week. He writes a novel, which goes viral with 600,000 words, and royalties skyrocket. He sells song copyrights on a royalty basis, not outright, earning from a single song for over a decade. He invests in stocks, buying into coal and tech companies, and his account balance reaches tens of millions.
