Rebirth 1991: Defying Fate to Immortality

In his past life, Han Qing was a hardened city cop who spent thirty years chasing criminals for justice—working undercover in drug busts, battling organized crime, and navigating between desperate outlaws and corrupt institutional protectors. Then one day, he is reborn—back to ninety days before the 1991 college entrance exams! At this point, he is a struggling high school senior, orphaned and alone, ranked at the bottom of his class, stripped of his recommended admission spot, bullied relentlessly on campus, and trapped in the darkest moment of his life—the very beginning of all his past tragedies. When he is beaten and thrown off a cliff by agents of a dark force, he unexpectedly gains immortal destiny. Returning with half a lifetime of bloody combat experience and memories of his past life, the youth's eyes hold no trace of timidity—only ruthless resolve! He slaps down arrogant thugs, outwits campus bullies, makes a stunning comeback to become the top scorer on the college entrance exams, earns admission to a prestigious police university, and methodically settles scores with his past enemies—tearing through layer after layer of darkness and bringing every criminal mastermind to justice! Grounded in the golden era of the 1990s, he protects his loved ones, ventures into the world of business, and upholds justice, tempering his iron-blooded Dao heart through every trial of the mortal world. Having reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm and achieved perfect Dao heart, once all worldly grudges are settled, he breaks free from mortal shackles, treads the great Dao, shatters his limits, defies fate itself, and ultimately transcends the mundane to become an immortal! — Description from novelcodex.org
