In this world, only the living can feel pain; after death, there's only emptiness, and no more feelings like disheartenment. The saying 'better off dead' probably means just that.

Zheng Qing's consciousness didn't know how long it lingered in the deep sea, unaware, until at a certain moment, he suddenly awoke, feeling a ray of sunshine falling on his head, leading him slowly up to the surface, only to find himself sitting at a desk in the next second, starting to flip through a book titled "Life".

Then kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, each page filled with fragments of his corresponding life, many memories he had long forgotten, vividly reappearing before him.
Until after high school.
