He transmigrates into the body of a tycoon in Great Jin, determined to bring light and warmth to this darkest of ages!
A beauty sings, captivating the whole nation!
A general draws his sword, turning the tide!
An unprecedented spree of aristocratic debauchery begins in Western Jin, lasting until the dynasty's fall! The instigators are the richest men in the land, Shi Chong and Wang Kai. After flaunting their wealth and competing to see who can spend more extravagantly, these two men begin gathering concubines and maids to wait on their guests.
Shi Chong, whose body is possessed by Yan Shu, a modern college student, embraces two sides of himself. On one hand, he acts like a feudal lord, builds Golden Valley Garden, monopolizes the salt, tea, and iron trades, and indulges in metaphysical debates and pleasure. On the other, he draws on modern ideas to prospect for minerals, develop mines, industrialize, uphold justice, and defend his country, living in two modes at once. Wang Kai, meanwhile, builds a treasure hall and a music house for female performers, keeps beauties hidden away in a golden house, fuels the chaos with the Five Minerals Powder, and colludes with foreign powers to indulge his greed.
The contest between the richest men, factional struggles, battles among vassal princes, and wars against foreign powers: love and conspiracy intertwine as angels and devils dance together!
Amid romance and revelry, murderous intent strikes without warning!
A carriage riding toward the capital is becoming the last straw that will break Great Jin, the spark that will set it ablaze!
