Nalan Zongyue died in his previous life due to internal fighting within the family and collusion with foreign enemies. He was reborn at a critical point where his father "suspended his death" and the family power was in a vacuum. At that time, Nalan's third uncle, Shen Xiaoshan, was seizing arms for personal gain. Outside, the Nanjing government was coveting the gold reserves, and the Black Dragon Society was coveting the opium distribution network. During the turmoil, she lost her innocence in her previous life and transformed into a ruthless "warlord devil", vowing to defend the family's legacy and liquidate all enemies.
Shangguan Runzhi, a tycoon of Shanghai trading companies, is also a hidden strategist. He has an old relationship with the Nalan family and controls the southern shipping and intelligence network. When he first met Nalan Zongyue, it was originally a profit-oriented cooperation, but he was moved by her fierceness in the face of danger and her sharpness in taking risks alone - she blocked a knife for him at the Guangzhou Pier, and he took care of her at Paramount; she gave him half of the tiger talisman. Trusting her, he paved the way for her with the power of his trading company, from jointly catching Lao Ya in the Hong Kong and Shanghai chess bureaus, to fighting side by side against evildoers at the Guangzhou wharf, and then to seizing arms at Longyin Temple in Hangzhou. In the game of power, calculation and sincerity are intertwined, and cooperation and love coexist.
This is a chess game in troubled times: Nalan Zongyue relied on her rebirth memory to eliminate internal troubles, fight politicians, and resist foreign enemies, making her famous "Magic Pill" famous; Shangguan Runzhi used the business map as a chess piece and the silver dart folding fan as a blade to help her consolidate her power step by step. They are the best partners in the warlords' melee, and they are also tacit confidants in Fenghuo - he understands her obsession with "keeping the family", and she knows the deep meaning of his "planning". The tiger talisman is the contract, and the silver dart is the evidence. In the whirlpool of gold, arms and power, the two of them went from testing each other to being dependent on each other for life and death, and then to the final peaceful age.
Not bad, the plot is interesting
