This place has long been famed for producing gold and beautiful women. Many years ago, the Mao and Wu families fought over the placer gold in Yangshu River Dam, creating a deadly feud that should have faded with time. Instead, it endured through the generations.
Set against the great gold rush that swept through a certain place in the 1980s, this book brings to life the story of Yangshu River Dam. In the face of gold, every facet of human nature is laid bare. People live for wealth, and die for wealth. Anyone who can escape the snare of luxury and temptation must be a genius. That person is Shui Wa. His mind is naturally sharper than those of his peers, so he doesn't have to make the same mistakes or take the same wrong turns they do. He uses the wealth bestowed on him by his times and good fortune to benefit the people around him.
