The Mastermind: I Am the Rules

Ten years ago, Li Mu was a small-time stock investor who copied other people's picks from online forums. He went all in chasing a rally, watched his holdings get cut in half the next day, and lost everything down to his underwear.

After a chance encounter with a veteran hot-money trader who had retreated from the world, he learned that the stock market wasn't simply about buying low and selling high. It was a bloody battle of capital.

From reading the order book to spotting leading stocks in hot sectors, from limit-up plays and buying dips to dumping shares at the top...

Starting with thirty thousand yuan, Li Mu built his fortune into thirty million. With a single computer, he locked countless stocks at their daily limit and crushed countless rivals.

There's a saying among hot-money traders:

"Behind every stock you see locked at the limit-up is the tearful bankruptcy of countless people."

Facing attacks from institutions, plots by rivals, and regulatory crackdowns, Li Mu dances on the edge of a blade:

Win big and become a legend, or lose everything!

This is the story of an ordinary retail investor who steps over blood and trading chips on his way to the throne of the hot-money trade.

No one can keep a stock locked at the limit forever, but some people can make the market remember their name.
