Synopsis

In 2000, my buddy and I went to Ruili on vacation, and got caught up in a scheme.

I lost everything and wanted to end it all. My mentor saved me on a rooftop and taught me how to set up schemes.

That was when I learned that there was a kind of person in this world called a master schemer.

The Greed Scheme: He could help others make money, and he could help me make money too. The opportunity was right in front of me, and I couldn’t let it slip away.

The Celebrity Scheme: You’re rich and important, so you deserve more professional service. Spend more money and buy more things.

The Trading Scheme: For the same treasure, I’m both the buyer and the seller. That’s how I openly make a profit off you.

The Slaughter Scheme: Darling, you belong to me, and so does your money.

These schemes are all the work of master schemers, but hidden behind them are feelings few people know about. Their love burns fiercely, their hatred twists out of shape. True feelings emerge from the darkness, and darkness grows from true feelings.

I studied under Master Gui, going from knowing nothing to laying schemes at every turn.

From then on, I was in the world of martial heroes, and the world of martial heroes bowed to me.
