The Dragon's Road Through Europa

In an alternate 1900, the European continent is in turmoil. The Industrial Revolution is sweeping across nations, the great powers are vying for supremacy, and undercurrents of conflict run deep. Shen Yanzhi, the eldest son of the wealthy Shen family of Shanghai, is driven into exile in Europe as a child with his father and their vast fortune when powerful officials set their sights on the family’s wealth. Knowing how difficult it is to make a life in a foreign land, his father sends this exceptionally gifted boy to the Prussian Military Academy. Years of training hone his formidable combat skills and top-tier military strategy. But when his father falls gravely ill, Shen Yanzhi is forced to set aside his military ambitions and take over the family business, where his hidden commercial talent soon shines. Amid Europe’s business world and turbulent times, he meets four women, each entirely different: Li Wanqing, a gentle, perceptive art critic of exceptional talent; Wu Zhangping, a capable and decisive business assistant with a brilliant mind; Wu Zhangming, a lively and sincere financial manager who is also good at calculating; and Fang Ya, a loving and resilient elder who has witnessed the passage of time. Their four relationships offer warmth and comfort amid chaos, as well as steadfast support on the road ahead. He uses military thinking to break through business predicaments, seizing the initiative in emerging industries such as automobiles and electrical appliances. He unites Chinese communities across Europe, pools resources, and builds a business empire spanning multiple countries. With an iron hand, he also counters pressure from the great powers and the schemes of rivals, laying his plans amid Europe’s conflicts and quietly building his strength. When his business empire is strong enough to support his quest for revenge, and his military might can command respect from all sides, Shen Yanzhi returns to his homeland with his four beloved companions. Facing his old enemies, he plans every move, strikes back like thunder, clears away political and commercial obstacles, and restores the Shen family’s glory
