Chongsheng means 'rebirth' and is one of the most used devices of Chinese web fiction. The heroine, sometimes the hero, dies or is ruined and then wakes up earlier in life with full memory of what happened. She uses that knowledge to avoid old traps, protect family and take revenge. It differs from time travel because the person returns to her own life, not someone else's. A Splendid Match is built on it, and Blossoms of Power opens the same way.
