Synopsis: In the final years of the Guangxu reign, the land lies parched for a thousand miles. The village bully conspires with a human trafficker, and a single contract of indenture sends Lin Polu straight to hell: the "Snake Pit," a tin mine in Nanyang. He survives by the skin of his teeth and crawls out of a mountain of corpses, seeing through this world that devours people: Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust? That's dog food! Nanyang is a living hell? It's also a black-gold hunting ground where he can rise from rock bottom! He risks his life and climbs over his enemies' corpses; he battles in the treacherous world of commerce, fighting colonial tycoons for wealth and power; he builds a shadow empire, controlling half the underworld of Nanyang. When he tears down with his own hands the banner stained with the blood and tears of Chinese laborers, a new order crawls at his feet and bows. This is the story of a man forced to become a wolf, who tears open the cage of fate in the bloody, brutal mire of Nanyang, carving out a path to power for himself and countless Chinese laborers! "The rules of Nanyang? From now on, I make them!"
