Xia Ning was an ordinary junior editor at a magazine. After an accident, he transmigrated as the son of a wealthy merchant in the Great Xin Dynasty, a notorious spoiled rich kid in Yangzhou City.
Unwilling to spend another life achieving nothing, he refused to lie flat and swore to become the richest man in the land.
But starting a business had never been easy. He faced cutthroat commercial rivalries, a ruthless and dangerous martial world, scheming officials at court, and one deadly struggle after another. Hardships came thick and fast.
Yet Xia Ning always held to his principles and stayed true to his original aspirations. Using his modern knowledge and technology, he began making soap, brewing liquor, opening hot pot restaurants, and producing glass. He also successfully developed the flying shuttle and the spinning jenny, building a business empire that reached across the land and overseas.
In the end, he achieved his life's goal and became a renowned tycoon of his age.
