Goodbye Mr. Loser

During the wedding, Xia Luo's drunken confession turns a simple ceremony into a public spectacle. Ma Dongmei publicly shames him for failing to be a dependable partner, threatening both his marriage and standing. In the chaos that follows, he bolts to a bathroom and the reality of the moment slips away.

Inside the bathroom, he loses consciousness and the room fades to the past. He wakes to find himself in a 1997 middle-school classroom as a teenager, not in his present life. At first he mistakes it for a dream, but the calendar stubbornly confirms otherwise.

In the 1997 classroom, his actions are reckless and impulsive as he tests his new teenage body. He confronts a scornful teacher, sets the classroom alight, and even shares a kiss with Qiu Ya. He then leaps out the window to end the illusion, unaware of the consequences.

The adrenaline fades and he wakes in a hospital bed, still in 1997. The calendar on the wall confirms that the time slip was real, not a dream. He faces the startling truth that he has traveled back decades in time with his adult memories intact.

With no clear way back, Xia Luo resolves to seize this second chance and shape his life anew. He discovers he can draw on nearly two decades of memories and a reservoir of future songs to influence his choices. A determination to redefine himself begins to take hold.

Using his adult experiences, Xia Luo crafts songs and ghostwrites TV themes, subtly steering the national pop landscape. His early work grows into a meteoric rise, as audiences connect with songs that feel both familiar and new. The music industry begins to bend toward a stunned, rapid ascent.

As his fame expands, he orchestrates a high-profile stage collaboration for a global moment, signaling his arrival on the world stage. The performance cements his status as one of China’s brightest stars of the era. The moment blends nostalgia, spectacle, and rock-solid craft.

Amid the whirlwind of success, Xia Luo marries Qiu Ya and becomes a household name. The public triumphs conceal a private tension, as memories of his earlier life begin to tug at him. The couple navigates a relationship built on both dream and deception.

Behind the glitter, Xia Luo senses that the life he’s living never fully fits who he used to be. Ma Dongmei, who endured hardship, remains a quiet truth in the wings, pulling at him with memories of a simpler love. He begins to wonder where his true destiny truly lies.

Xia Luo learns that Qiu Ya has an affair with another friend, a revelation that shatters the fantasy of their perfect life. The news deepens his longing for the steadier, more honest love he left behind with Ma Dongmei. He faces the fragility of reputations built on borrowed memories.

In a reckless bid to win back his wife, he offers all he has. Da Chun’s brutal punch sends him crashing to a hospital bed, where the consequences of his choices catch up with him. The moment shifts from ambition to vulnerability in an instant.

In the hospital, Xia Luo faces a devastating AIDS diagnosis as his body weakens. Ma Dongmei sings him a final love song—the one he truly penned—revealing the enduring power of real, enduring love. The moment crystallizes the cost of his extraordinary journey.

Death comes, and the narrative twists back to the wedding venue bathroom where a clearer truth appears: Ma Dongmei is the one he has always loved. He sprints back into the room to reunite with her, right as authorities intervene. The encounter reframes his entire journey as a choice about love, not merely fate.

Though detained briefly by authorities, Xia Luo and Ma Dongmei choose to continue their lives together. The story ends not with a fairy-tale ending, but with a deeper devotion forged by memory and choice. Their bond endures the wild journey, anchored in the truth of who they are together.
