Qin Chunxiao lives in a world with a soulmate setting, in a novel titled *The Tycoon's Young Master is a Top Star*. The book chronicles the emotional entanglement between the wealthy young master and his ex-husband, the actor Bai Ming. There’s no money-making cheat or shortcut to wealth. Qin Chunxiao, whose hometown’s housing price is over 40,000 per square meter, remains expressionless: *What’s the point of knowing this plot? It doesn’t earn me money.* As a nameless extra in the story, Qin Chunxiao stays far from the original plot, diligently striving on the volleyball court. His goals: make it to the men’s national volleyball team before 2024 to see the world at the Paris Olympics, and save enough for a down payment by age 30 to move his family out of their cramped, rundown rental. Years later, he finally reaches the top level. As a national team member, he flies abroad with equally talented teammates for a match—only for the plane to disintegrate mid-air. The first piece of wreckage aimed at him is blocked by a kind-hearted passenger beside him. The moment that passenger dies, Qin Chunxiao’s world loses color. The second piece of wreckage sends him off as well. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself back seven years earlier, in his third year of junior high, holding *Three Years of Entrance Exams, Four Years of Practice*. Staring at the test papers, he’s torn between sorrow and joy. Sorrow—because he has to retake the high school and college entrance exams. Joy—because this time, his volleyball dreams might soar even higher. Qin Chunxiao wants to become the world’s best volleyball libero. What is a libero? The one lying on the ground while others celebrate a win. The human iron tower holding up the first line of defense. The guardian who, despite being the shortest on the team, radiates unstoppable presence, leaving the opponent’s ace spiker helpless. The warrior who never gives up until the ball hits the floor. Before crisis strikes, I stop it. After it arrives, I crush it.
