Restarted as His Forever

Episode 1

Sofia Xander has nothing left. Stranded on a deserted island, she watches her husband Qin Muzi cozy up to her adopted sister Xulu and realizes her own son, Tangtang, no longer wants her as his mother. A mysterious system offers an escape: swap identities, and she'll be free of this family forever.

She agrees, and a three-day countdown begins. But the cruelty doesn't stop. Qin Muzi accuses her of pushing Xulu off a cliff and demands she sign a divorce agreement to stay in the Qin family. When he pressures her for a kidney, Sofia drops a bombshell—she already gave Xulu one eight years ago. She has only one kidney left.

Episode 2

Sofia refuses to donate again, and Qin Muzi doesn't bother hiding his rage. He insists Xulu has suffered enough because of her and promises a lavish wedding on their anniversary—as a reward for cooperating. Sofia's answer is a flat no.

So he finds her weak spot. Her best friend Qiao Ting signed a big contract with his subsidiary, and he threatens to send her to jail over its loopholes. Sofia can't gamble with Qiao Ting's life.

Qin Muzi also wants Qiao Ting's company shares transferred to him. Cornered and out of options, Sofia agrees to the surgery—but the deal comes with a demand of her own. The countdown to her new identity keeps ticking.

Episode 3

Sofia's parents arrive at the hospital, and their cruelty is breathtaking. They blame her for pushing Xulu off the cliff and wish they'd aborted her. Her mother admits she can't have more children and calls Xulu her destined lucky star—while Sofia is nothing but bad luck.

Xulu plays the saint, forgiving her "sister" while angling for the kidney. Then a doctor's checkup changes everything: Sofia's records show she has two kidneys. Qin Muzi seizes on the "lie," convinced she made up the earlier donation.

But a nurse reveals the truth—eight years ago, someone else performed that operation and credited Xulu. Someone has been covering their tracks all along.

Episode 4

The nurse's revelation cracks the story open, but Qin Muzi refuses to believe Sofia, calling her a venomous liar. Left alone with Jia Cui, the doctor, Sofia finally learns the truth: Xulu is Jia Cui's biological daughter—and Sofia's half-sister.

Years ago, Jia Cui was about to marry Sofia's father until her mother broke them apart. Everything since has been revenge. Sofia tries to warn Qin Muzi, but he won't hear a word until the surgery is done.

Back home, she quietly lets go. She orders the lavender garden dug up and their photos and keepsakes thrown away. Qin Muzi notices—and the cracks in his certainty start to show.

Episode 5

Qin Muzi confronts Sofia about discarding their memories, and she doesn't flinch. She's done pretending. Xulu arrives and can't resist twisting the knife, hinting that while Sofia was abandoned on the island, Qin Muzi spent every night by her side—even letting people call her "little sister-in-law."

Sofia tells her to get out. Xulu refuses, and the confrontation turns physical. When Qin Muzi returns, Xulu is on the floor, crying that Sofia tried to kill her.

She spins a story about Sofia threatening to slash her face with glass. Sofia protests that it's the same old trick—Xulu hurting herself to frame her—but Qin Muzi has already made up his mind about who the villain is.

Episode 6

Xulu's performance works. Qin Muzi doesn't just side with her—he orders Sofia to hand over the chip she spent five years developing, so it can be credited to Xulu as "compensation." Sofia is devastated. Her work, her marriage, her parents, her child—everything has been given to Xulu.

She protests that she's a Qishi Group employee and her achievements can't simply be reassigned. It doesn't matter. Qin Muzi announces he'll hold a press conference declaring the breakthrough Xulu's.

Xulu feigns guilt and a headache, and the decision stands. Sofia watches her last piece of herself get handed away. With her identity countdown running out, she has almost nothing left to lose.

Episode 7

Qin Muzi thanks Sofia for helping pick out Xulu's birthday gift, then coldly tells her the kidney donation is gift enough—she doesn't need to prepare anything else. He finally explains his years of coldness: eight years ago, he claims, she drugged him to force a marriage his parents opposed.

He also blames her for targeting Xulu, the woman he calls his savior. Sofia doesn't argue. She just says that after the surgery, she'll be dead.

He dismisses it as an act, since doctors confirmed she's fine. Then he throws her out into the cold—no coat, no cash, no phone. She's left with nothing but the countdown and a promise she won't keep.

Episode 8

Sofia finds her way to her friend Qiao Ting, who is horrified by her hollow cheeks and the needle marks on her hands. Sofia finally tells her everything—the island, the coercion, the surgery she's being forced into. Qiao Ting is furious at Qin Muzi and Tangtang, but Sofia stops her.

She explains the system: she won't truly die. She'll wake up in another body and continue living. They'll stay in touch, she promises—they'll never be separated.

Qiao Ting is stunned but believes her. Sofia says she has only two days left before her new life begins, and tells her friend to be happy for her instead of afraid.

Episode 9

Qin Muzi finds Sofia and demands to know why she ran off. She throws his past neglect back at him—the New Year's Eve he left her waiting on a mountaintop, the Valentine's Day he made her stand in the rain for Xulu. This time, she says, she won't wait for him to come back.

She asks for a divorce. He's baffled, then reveals he's postponing their wedding for a year because Xulu wants to be a bridesmaid and needs recovery time. Sofia says it doesn't matter—she won't live that long.

When Xulu collapses, Qin Muzi rushes to her. He begs Sofia for just one more day before the surgery. She tells him that after she dies, they can marry immediately.

Episode 10

In the operating room, Jia Cui keeps vigil while Tangtang cheerfully tells Xulu he's waiting for her to become his "new mom." Qin Muzi makes one last plea to Sofia—after this donation, let their old grudges end and go back to how they were when they were in love.

Sofia refuses. "We can never go back," she says. If she could wish for anything, it's a next life where she never meets him again.

The surgery begins. Jia Cui notes Sofia has only one kidney, but Qin Muzi orders the operation to continue anyway. Then the monitors shriek—her blood pressure and heart rate plunge. Sofia is crashing on the table, and the countdown to her rebirth is almost up.
