Scumbag Reborn: What Do You Mean, Pure Love?

A soul-crushing heartbreak once gave Cheng Dong the drive to build his empire—but it also turned him into a notorious womanizer. Now a successful but aging businessman, still unmarried, he pops a little blue pill before a billion-yuan negotiation and catches himself thinking behind the wheel: "If I could start over, I'd go for pure love." That fleeting wish becomes a grim reality when a truck sends him hurtling back to his teenage years, more than a decade in the past. In this second life, Cheng Dong refuses to play the desperate simp. He throws himself into his studies, lives with genuine purpose, and dabbling in business on the side comes naturally. Yet what he never anticipated was becoming the most brilliant light in everyone else's eyes—the very people and opportunities that once felt impossibly out of reach now flock to him unbidden. When someone teases him about his promised "pure love," Cheng Dong merely smiles: "A love that's clean and true—isn't that the purest kind of pure love there is?"
