Gold Dust 1985: From Abandoned-Mine Gold King to Business Tycoon

The business tycoon Lin Yanzhou is murdered and reborn in Qinglonggou Gold Valley, a remote yet legendary place. He becomes a “golden boy” blessed with lucky charms but plagued by bad luck: just after finding a gold nugget weighing eight or nine jin, he is clubbed from behind, dumped into an abandoned mine, and buried beneath a huge rock.

Through sheer perseverance, he escapes, waits for his chance to find the culprit, and takes back his gold nugget. Drawing on memories from his previous life, he also buys the dreaded “cursed mine” for next to nothing and digs up Qinglonggou’s “Gold King.” But a series of crises is only just beginning: the former mine owner gathers local thugs to take the mine back; Du Qi, the notorious “Golden Finger” of the underworld, regards Lin Yanzhou as an enemy and has already escaped from prison; and after ecological destruction and bloody turf wars, thousands of mines will eventually be shut down by a single decree...

His fate must be changed. As the commercial empire that began with a gold mine finally sets sail, the fangs of revenge, long lying dormant, also lock onto their prey from the shadows…
