share time: 2025-12-09 12:34:19

Lin Xia, a coder at a 2023 internet giant, dies from overwork and is reborn to the summer vacation of her high school year in 1997. In her past life, she missed the chance to start a business with her childhood sweetheart Chen Mo and regretted neglecting her family. After rebirth, she hides in a street-corner internet café coding—helping Chen Mo fix programming bugs to compete in the national contest while secretly saving money for her mom’s street stall. But her past rival suddenly appears to steal her code. Worse, Chen Mo has long noticed her “abnormality”—how can this internet café regular write algorithms that won’t exist for years? When the final contest screen lights up and Lin Xia types the last line of code, she realizes rebirth isn’t about “winning”—it’s about retrieving the “source code of her life” that she lost.
