Synopsis
Xia Fu once believed his marriage to his employer, Li Han, was a genuine stroke of luck, only to discover a devastating truth: he was merely a placeholder for someone else. After a fatal car crash grants him a second chance at life, he returns with a cold, pragmatic resolve. Rather than chasing affection, he embraces his role as a substitute, treating the relationship as a business transaction. His new goal is to accumulate as much wealth as possible through various side jobs and strict budgeting, intending to secure his future and divorce Li Han once their child is born. This lighthearted story focuses on the friction between a husband who is genuinely devoted and a partner convinced he is disposable. The tone is breezy and low-stress, escalating through comedic misunderstandings and domestic tension. It rewards those who enjoy seeing a misunderstood protagonist find self-worth through independence, while those seeking heavy angst or complex political intrigue will find the plot too simplistic.

Editorial Review
At sixty-nine chapters, this completed work offers a concise exploration of the rebirth premise without overstaying its welcome. The strongest element is the dynamic between the lead couple; the contrast between the husband's bewilderment and the protagonist's obsession with financial security provides a consistent source of charm. However, the plot remains relatively thin, relying heavily on a single misunderstanding to drive the conflict for the majority of the runtime. While the resolution is satisfyingly sweet, the lack of secondary plotlines or world-building makes the experience feel somewhat narrow in scope. Given the short length and focused goal, it serves as a quick, comforting read, though it lacks the depth required for a higher rating. The execution is steady, ensuring the emotional payoff lands effectively despite the predictable trajectory.
