"I Was a Gangster in the Qing Dynasty" tells the story of Zhang Baorui, a modern social programmer who was unexpectedly reborn as a son of a bannerman who fell during the Yongzheng period. With memories of the 21st century and a mouthful of Internet memes, he transformed himself into the "Qing Dynasty's No. 1 Bully" in the court to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction, while using modern business thinking to build a business empire. When he met Su Wanqing, a talented girl from the Han Army Banner who was gentle on the surface but sinister in nature, the two went from fighting each other to joining forces and fighting their way through the turbulent court and business world. When modern thinking collides with feudal ethics, when a sharp-tongued man meets a talented and sinister woman, a hilarious legend about power, money and true love begins!
