When Li Yang was five, his mother died unexpectedly. His stepmother came into the family, and unable to endure her abuse, he could only seek shelter at a Taoist temple. For thirteen years, he devoted himself to studying traditional Chinese medicine with a Daoist priest and reclusive masters. He not only mastered their teachings, but also honed formidable martial arts skills. At eighteen, he came down from the mountain and became a renowned young practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. From then on, he thrived in both politics and business, breezing through life with one stroke of luck after another. He won the admiration of people from all walks of life, especially wealthy and beautiful women, and rose to the pinnacle of life.
