Reborn on Hong Kong Island: A Triad Boss Leaves the Underworld to Strike It Rich in Business

When Li Wendi wakes up, he has returned to Hong Kong in 1971, as a low-ranking thug in Wo Shing Wo's Sai Wan branch who makes a living by chopping people up.

He thinks he'll have to trade his life for money forever, but then he stumbles upon a seal in an antique shop and makes a net profit of 30,000 dollars reselling it. His fate is rewritten.

But that sum is nowhere near enough. He knows exactly what Hong Kong will face over the next decade: the rise of Chinese-funded companies going public, a real estate boom, and a stock market that will soar and crash in a frenzy. Every step is an opportunity, but also a deadly trap.

Garment factories, underground banks, gang power, and British trading houses: undercurrents surge as all sides vie for influence. With the experience of his past life as an assistant manager and the advantage of knowing what's to come, Li Wendi fights his way up from street vending.

While other thugs are still risking their lives over a few hundred dollars in protection money, he is already setting his sights much further.

Since Heaven has given him a second chance, he'll leave his blood-soaked life behind for good and carve out his own path in Hong Kong's business world.
