He woke up to find himself Liu Guangtian, the hapless second son of Liu Haizhong in the Courtyard of Birds.
His father, Liu Haizhong, is obsessed with officialdom and beats his family, believing that a good son is made through harsh discipline. He especially likes to "educate" Liu Guangtian, whom he considers useless.
His mother, Second Aunt, is biased toward comfort and has eyes only for the eldest son, Liu Guangqi, who studies well and is destined to "become an official."
His big brother, Liu Guangqi, is in vocational school. On the surface, he acts like a loving brother, but in truth he's a master manipulator and a hypocritical saint, effortlessly playing their parents like a fiddle.
As for Liu Guangtian and his younger brother, Liu Guangfu, they're the family's punching bags, with about as much status as a rag.
Right after graduating, Liu Guangtian was set up by his hypocritical big brother and sent to haul heavy cargo at a freight yard under the blazing sun. He nearly died of heatstroke.
On top of that, he had to hand over all the money he earned every day.
There was no way he could put up with that.
Liu Guangtian didn't hesitate. He turned the whole table over.
He'd split from the family and live on his own.
Yet while Liu Guangqi was still putting on a show of sweet-talking at vocational school, Liu Guangtian had quietly landed a job at the supply and marketing cooperative.
While the other birds in the courtyard were still scheming over petty gains, Liu Guangtian had already begun planning for a much wider world.
Putting the other birds in their place? Family intrigue? That was just an appetizer.
Building a global business empire was Liu Guangtian's ultimate goal!
Now watch Liu Guangtian defy fate in this turbulent era, plan his moves step by step, and leave the birds of the courtyard and his hypocritical big brother far behind!
