Zhang Xiao clawed his way up from a low-level street thug in the twenty-first century to become the Street King. After someone sucker-punched him, he transmigrated into Helian Xiao, the most useless and spoiled youngest son of the Prince of Zhenbei.
Facing internal strife, external threats, and enemies on every side, he uses the street smarts, ruthless methods, and people skills he learned in his previous life. Starting by bringing the capital’s underworld to heel, he opens gambling houses, takes control of the grain transport routes, and builds an intelligence network, using “gangster” tactics to pursue a king’s ambitions.
He may seem to act recklessly, but every move is part of a larger web. When the northern frontier is in danger and the nation faces a crisis, while the entire court is at a loss, the man everyone despises as “the capital’s biggest villain” slowly rises to his feet, baring his fangs. “It’s time my idle gang of brothers got some exercise.”
