Graduation, then unemployment. Relatives mock him, and his girlfriend breaks up with him. Zhang Muye thought poverty just meant being short on money, until he heard an interviewer say, “Your way of thinking is still stuck in the Stone Age.”
He thought he’d lost because he had no connections and didn’t know how to deal with people. Then an expert opened his eyes: ordinary people in modern society are trapped in a cage of information, mistaking their shackles for lifebuoys.

Using information asymmetry, he brought a teaware shop on the verge of bankruptcy back to life and helped an entrepreneur avoid a staggering scam, making a name for himself.
Just when he thought he was about to turn his life around, he discovered that the Ponzi scheme sweeping the country and devouring his parents’ hard-earned money was waiting for him to walk right into its trap.
This time, he would stand alone and use his only weapon, “knowledge,” to expose a lie worth tens of billions!
“I once stood at the bottom. Now, I’m rebuilding the world with knowledge.”
