Two days. Ten strings of cash.
If he can't pay it back, his family will lose their ancestral home, and his little sister will be sold as a servant to a wealthy family.
This is the first life-or-death gamble Li Wei faces after transmigrating to the Tang dynasty.
His only bargaining chips are modern scientific knowledge a thousand years ahead of its time and a nearly defunct papermaking workshop.
He improves the craft and transforms it from the ground up!
When paper as white as jade and as supple as silk emerges from his hands, the crisis is far from over. Instead, it draws the greedy attention of Yutang Paper Mill, an industry giant.
Behind what seems like a simple technology deal lies a web of schemes and high-stakes maneuvering.
How can he use an incomplete technology to secure the fifteen strings of cash he needs to save his life, without spending a single coin?
His crocodile-sized opponent won't let things go. More turbulent undercurrents and fiercer business battles await him down the road.
From fighting to survive in desperate straits to building a papermaking powerhouse, every step Li Wei takes is along the edge of a blade.
