Synopsis

During the rainy season of the millennium, torrential rain poured down on Ruili. Bai Hao and his group sped along National Highway 556 in a four-wheel-drive Toyota Prado, relying on their off-roader’s powerful performance to plow through the terrible road conditions.

As they drove past the embankment in Leiyun Village, they came across Burmese border residents moving supplies across the border. They learned that it was legitimate border trade. The group stopped to watch, unaware that danger was quietly closing in.

Days of rain had pushed the water level above the embankment’s limit. A flood surge struck from upstream, the riverbank collapsed in an instant, and torrents of muddy water rushed downstream.

The flood arrived in the blink of an eye. The group scrambled into the vehicle and tried to flee. The car struck a rock and spun out of control, completely blocking their way back. With life and death hanging in the balance, Bai Hao made the most desperate gamble of his life: don’t turn back, don’t slow down, and smash through the border to survive!

The driver endured the agony of his serious injuries, keeping his foot hard on the accelerator as they sped ahead at full throttle. The vehicle plunged into the shallow, rushing water. Just as its front wheels crossed the border, a towering flood surge slammed into the rear, nearly sweeping the entire car away.

At this desperate moment, the front of the vehicle hit a rock and launched into the air. The Prado tore itself free of the flood and crashed heavily onto the Burmese embankment.

A sudden mountain flood, a desperate cross-border gamble to escape disaster, and Bai Hao and his companions were left stranded abroad, caught up in an entirely new border crisis.

Rich Protagonist Novels: Can You Really Not Write One Without Livestreaming?

Why do people who read rich-and-powerful stories like multiple male leads? Because no-couple and one-on-one romances feel like charity cases, while over 30% of the story is livestream viewers sending gifts. The male lead's like some selfless giver of money. Are there really no stories that fit what I'm looking for?
