At 25, rich second-generation heir Hong Xiong saw his family's business collapse overnight, sending him plunging from the heights of success.
Volumes 1-4: To escape his debts and find a way forward, he traveled alone to the Philippines, where Chinese communities had deep roots. From a fallen heir looked down on by everyone, he rose by awakening the business acumen in his Fujianese merchant bloodline, drawing on his knowledge of China's supply chains, and seizing the TikTok e-commerce boom with pinpoint accuracy. He built a business empire in the Philippines, not only remaking himself but also finding something more precious than wealth.
Volumes 4-6: Having risen to the top in the Philippines, the lion king Hong Xiong takes his capital and forces south to Vietnam's e-commerce market, a place of limitless potential. He will face a more complicated political and business landscape, more cunning local tycoons, and deadly temptations steeped in exotic allure. Back home, Lin Anna must stand on her own and handle challenges from within and without. It is a trial of ambition, loyalty, and desire.
