Reborn in Hong Kong: Building a Thousand-Year Shadow Gold Empire

Ma Xuan, a soul from the twenty-first century, wakes up to find he has been reborn on Hong Kong Island in 1979, a glittering den of excess!

From the start, he is the only son of the Ma family, one of the four gray-market clans of the Lei Nuo era. With his family mired in the black-money swamp of prostitution, gambling, and drugs, and the British governor on the verge of cracking down on Lei Nuo's forces, Ma Xuan knows this is a crisis, but also an unprecedented opportunity!

Fortunately, he has a golden finger: the ability to preview future information. Every fluctuation in the Hong Kong stock market, every upheaval in international shipping, and every shift in global commodities plays out clearly in his mind!

First, he decisively joins forces with the Hung Hing Society and cleverly arranges for the family to sell off its prostitution, gambling, and drug businesses for next to nothing, completing a dazzling transformation and going completely legitimate! Second, he uses the Hung Hing Society's underground network to upgrade gray-market businesses like smuggling and illegal migration into high-end cross-border services, creating Hong Kong Island's only all-purpose connection network and becoming the rule-maker of the underworld! Third, he takes on Lei Nuo's old guard head-on, deploys a string of clever schemes, gradually swallows their influence, and takes control of their core assets, forcing former kingpins to bow before him!
