One night of heavy drinking sends Lin Mo, a greasy middle-aged man struggling through life, back to 1990.
With a home stripped bare and parents who expect their son to make something of himself, he carries all the memories of the next thirty years and resolutely sets out on a completely different path in life.
While the rest of the era feels its way forward, he already knows every opportunity the future will bring.
He doesn’t want to bask in the spotlight. He wants to be the hidden hand that creates it. From heading south to make his first fortune through resale, to slipping into the capital and turning stone into gold by investing in film and television productions destined to become classics, he discovers one future superstar after another and builds a vast business empire spanning film, music, the internet, and finance.
To actresses, he is the mysterious “kindred spirit.” Directors call him the god of wealth who can turn stone into gold. His rivals tremble at the mention of the “mastermind behind the scenes.” Yet he always stays out of the spotlight.
This is a story about making up for past regrets, protecting family ties, and ultimately holding an entire era in the palm of one’s hand.
Lin Mo is reborn, seeking neither fame nor recognition among the powerful. He only wants to be the invisible tycoon who sweeps everything before him.
A secret that a person knows is called a secret, and writing it down is called a handle. If this notebook is lost or seen by someone, you will know what it means to die.
The first few chapters are all nonsense, repeated over and over again, with too many adjectives.
