No exaggeration: this book is even more faithful to the original than the original itself!
Reborn in 1999, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, Gao Qisheng finds himself in his senior year of college. Taking over his identity, he thinks his knowledge of how industries will develop in the future can help him change the fate of the Gao brothers. He never expects that doing business as an ordinary man will be so difficult. After he and his brother open a grilled fish stall together, one setback after another comes their way. Along the way, he meets Xue Liu, whose identity is a mystery, the old hand He, and Officer Lu, who is caught up in the complexities of human relationships. He believes that sticking to his principles will eventually bring a turning point, but with his girlfriend betraying him, his brother turning against him, and Xu Lei, Wang Gang, and others harassing and humiliating him, Gao Qisheng gradually turns to the dark side.
When drug dealer Ma Shun invites him to join up, An Xin urges him to become an informant. But An Xin has no idea that, in the name of supporting justice, this young man whose heart has been corrupted will drag everyone he hates into the abyss.
Excerpt:
“Xu Jiang? Uncle Tai? They all have to die. If they don't, Jinghai will never belong to the two Gao brothers!” Gao Qisheng declared.
“Qisheng! I've told you already! Don't get involved in my business. I can get my hands dirty, but you and your sister can't!”
“Brother! I'm already beyond saving!”
Gao Qisheng broke into a grin.
“Brother! I'll tell you the truth. Everything that's happened to you was arranged by me. From now on, just focus on being Jinghai's emperor in the open. I'll stay in the shadows and clear every obstacle in your path!”
“But you can't go after your own sister!”
“I have no choice!”
“Brother! I love our sister so much, just like I love you.”
