After getting out of prison, Ling Feng goes to his ex-girlfriend to demand the money he paid as a betrothal gift.
Instead, she humiliates him.
Luckily, her curvy aunt steps in to help him out.
It’s love at first sight.
“If you want to be my boyfriend, earn ten million first…”
Her words do nothing to shake Ling Feng’s confidence.
He starts out selling grilled lamb skewers from a street stall, then moves on to spicy crayfish, a barbecue restaurant, a chain of barbecue restaurants, grand restaurants and hotels, before investing in all kinds of businesses and amassing a vast fortune.
As he struggles through the many hardships of starting a business, Ling Feng learns just how unpredictable people can be in this dog-eat-dog society, and how dangerous the times are.
To protect those around him, he keeps getting stronger and enters the underworld, quietly building his own empire of black gold.
He will build an underworld of his own.
He will make every other underworld boss bow before him.
“I just want to grill skewers in peace.
You people are the ones who keep forcing me to become a crime boss.”
“Small-time thugs muddle through the underworld, while a rising dragon makes its own way through it.
And I, Ling Feng, will forge a new legend of the underworld that belongs to me alone.”
“Those who follow me will prosper. Those who oppose me will perish.”
