Zheng Yixu blinked his eyes and silently looked at the luxurious ceiling, feeling like he might be dreaming.

He closed his eyes and opened them again…

Oh, still a dream within a dream.

He had seen “Inception” after all.

Zheng Yixu felt pain all over his body, and his eyelids were very heavy. He thought he should sleep a bit more; everything would be better when he woke up.…

“Sigh!” Zheng Yixu looked at his hands silently in a daze. Now, even if he tried to lie to himself, it wouldn’t work. It seemed he had caught up with the latest trend and been reborn…

But he hadn’t been abandoned by a scum boyfriend, nor had his family fallen apart, and neither his girlfriend nor boyfriend had left him to get married. His life was very ordinary and moderately well-off. He seemed to be just one among millions in China, with nothing particularly outstanding. So why was he the one who got reborn?

These days, even if you want to participate in a singing competition, you need a tragic backstory; otherwise, you don’t even have the qualification to perform. Without a life more miserable than the average person, without worse luck, and without having been betrayed, you would be embarrassed to say you were reborn.

But Zheng Yixu had always had average to above-average grades, got into a mediocre university, found a mediocre job after graduation, and occasionally won laundry detergent in the lottery. During the World Cup, he even bet a hundred yuan on the German team to win.

No matter how you looked at it, he didn’t seem to fit the profile of someone who needed a rebirth.

So why was he the one who got reborn?

Zheng Yixu thought about it for a long time but ultimately couldn’t figure it out.

Forget it, since it has happened, he might as well make the best of it and think about how to deal with things after being reborn.

Zheng Yixu’s job was quite relaxed, so he spent a lot of time on various literary websites.

Rebirth could happen in different scenarios.

Now, he could confirm three points about his own situation:

First, this body doesn’t seem to lack money. The place he was staying in was clearly a luxury hospital room, and the supposedly terrible hospital food tasted better than restaurant food to Zheng Yixu. So, this body was definitely wealthy.

Second, this body was about six or seven years older than his original self. He looked to be around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old and was very handsome, almost like a celebrity. Fortunately, he wasn’t one of those trendy flower boys, nor was he a middle-aged man with a big belly in his forties or fifties. Otherwise, Zheng Yixu would have a hard time tolerating it. Sometimes people got reborn in such bizarre ways that just being human was considered lucky, with no control over age or appearance. So, Zheng Yixu was quite satisfied with this aspect.

— —

But there’s no such thing as a free lunch. The better the conditions after rebirth, the greater the crises ahead. Otherwise, why would he be reborn so well-off? Fortunately, during the two days he woke up in the hospital, no one came to visit him, indicating he didn’t have great popularity. This somewhat eased Zheng Yixu’s uneasy heart.

Third, and most importantly, he didn’t inherit any memories from this body! Isn’t that unfair? Others who are reborn at least know what happened to this body in the past, so they can avoid exposing any flaws. But now, it seems like fate wants to train him to become Sherlock Holmes!

— In conclusion, Zheng Yixu arrived at a rather unfortunate conclusion.

Perhaps the reason he was reborn was to seek revenge for this body.

Look, young and handsome, wealthy, alone in the hospital without anyone visiting… This familiar scenario is just like those pitiful ukes abandoned by their scum gongs! And he doesn’t even inherit the memories of this body!

Maybe the original owner was so sad that all memories faded away…

This is exactly like the rhythm of those reborn protagonists who rise up to counterattack against their scummy partners!Of course, he is a person with principles, and he would never forgive a scum gong and then fall in love with him!

Having organized his thoughts, Zheng Yixu decided to take it slow and gather some information about this body first. He still didn’t know exactly when, where, or in which country he had been reborn. Wait, what was I even fantasizing about before?

Zheng Yixu felt embarrassed and covered his face.

He had been foolishly thinking he was still dreaming.

What a silly mistake!

“Patient 520, it’s time for your check-up.” A pretty nurse pushed a medical cart and knocked on the door.

Thank goodness it wasn’t 250…

Wait, why am I still pondering over these trivial matters at this hour?

Zheng Yixu inwardly scolded himself harshly.

“Oh.” Zheng Yixu kept a straight face, not letting anyone see what he was thinking. He couldn’t pull off any complex expressions, so simplicity was better.

Next came the routine examination.

“Today, have you remembered anything?” The nurse couldn’t hold back anymore and asked.

“What?” Zheng Yixu paused. Did she mean that scum gong got married, and the nurse, out of concern, was probing to see if it would upset him again?

Alright, now was the time to test himself.

Charge ahead, Zheng Yixu.

Maybe you can even open up a subplot in the entertainment industry and become a future film emperor or something.

“It’s all in the past,” Zheng Yixu said calmly.

Good, simple and clear.

Now the nurse should understand.

Zheng Yixu glanced discreetly at the nurse and noticed a strange expression on her face. Sure enough, I was right! It must be that the original owner was too submissive and devoted to the scum gong, making others react so strongly to his answer.

Although I don’t interact much with people in my job, my observation skills are still top-notch. Being able to pick up clues from others’ expressions is not something an ordinary person can do.

“So, do you have any plans for the future? Your health is almost fully recovered. Don’t you want to ask why no one has come to see you?” the nurse continued to ask.

“After I leave, I’ll consider changing jobs and maybe travel,” Zheng Yixu replied calmly. “I’m fine on my own.” So don’t worry, I won’t abandon myself because of a scum gong. It’s even better if he doesn’t come to visit!

The nurse’s expression became even more peculiar.

“It’s dangerous to be alone. You should reach out to your friends,” the nurse continued. “And since you’ve just recovered from illness, it’s better to have company.”

Could this nurse be a spy sent by the scum gong to seek affection for him?Riches and honor cannot intimidate him, and strength cannot bend him. How could he submit to someone who hasn’t even shown their face?

Zheng Yixu maintained a dignified posture and gestured to stop the nurse’s words. “I’ll take good care of myself alone, so you can rest assured. Am I not capable of taking care of myself as a grown man? I’m not a primary school student!” So there’s no need to help the scum gong pull strings.

Being young, how could she lack medical ethics? Zheng Yixu thought to himself,

“Do you really have nothing you want to ask?” The nurse became flustered and her face turned red. In her years of work, she had never encountered a patient like this. “Your condition, your family, even the reason for your illness—don’t you want to know?

“After the nurse finished speaking, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes glistened as she looked at Zheng Yixu, as if he had disappointed her.

Wait?

Is something not right here?

Zheng Yixu belatedly realized that perhaps the script the nurse was following didn’t quite match his own.

Indeed, was he part of the rebirth genre that leaned towards the bizarre?!”What do you mean?” Zheng Yixu countered, realizing his tone might have been too harsh. “Are you saying you can tell me all these details?

”The nurse’s complexion finally improved, and she even gave Zheng Yixu a smile. “That’s great! I thought you were delusional or something. The doctor just said you had amnesia. I’ve been worried because you never asked anything.” The nurse stuck out her tongue playfully. “Luckily, you finally asked.

”Without needing a mirror, Zheng Yixu knew his expression must be quite colorful right now.

He had previously thought pretending to have amnesia was too cliché and didn’t want to use it, yet here someone had willingly offered him the perfect excuse.

“What’s going on here?”
