In 1799, He Shen was given a white silk by Jiaqing to commit suicide in a water prison, but accidentally traveled to Beijing in 1983. This "Second Emperor" who once dominated the government and the public, faced China in the early stages of reform and opening up, and relied on his historical insights and political wisdom to launch a counterattack across time and space.
He Shen, who first arrived in modern times, woke up in the dilapidated City God's Temple and found himself possessed by the unemployed young man Wang Jianguo of the same name. He quickly grasped modern concepts such as food stamps and ten-thousand-yuan households, and took advantage of the policy dividends in 1983 to gradually build a business empire by starting from reselling fertilizers and contracting township enterprises. At the same time, he secretly activated the "corrupt official system" and exchanged ancient political skills by completing historical tasks (such as collecting antiques and manipulating the stock market), and repeatedly made strange moves in modern business wars.
On the surface, Heshen invested in special zones, sponsored scientific research, and even participated in the layout of the computer industry as a "patriotic entrepreneur"; secretly, he competed with overseas capital, using information gaps to avoid legal risks, and at the same time cope with the impact of the "strike hard" campaign. What's even more troublesome is that he discovers that his time-travel is no accident - the soul of Emperor Jiaqing is also possessed by a modern official, and the two start a power showdown across time and space.
As Heshen's business territory expanded around the world, his true identity was gradually exposed. Facing the sanctions of modern law and the call of historical mission, he must make a choice between "becoming the richest man" and "rewriting history."
