A financial tycoon transmigrates into the Kaiyuan era of the Tang dynasty, only to wake up as Wang Yuanbao, a bankrupt peddler.
Amnesia, debt, and death at his door: from the start, he’s trapped in a hopeless situation.
Yet in the depths of despair, he catches a glimpse of another side to this glorious age:
Nobles fret over having no way to advance, merchants worry about competitors driving down prices, craftsmen fear they won’t have enough to live on, and officials dread a bleak future...
Everyone is consumed by anxiety.
Wang Yuanbao wipes the blood from his neck, a wild fire reigniting in his eyes. Then I’ll be the only merchant in this prosperous Kaiyuan era who sells anxiety.
“From this day on, whatever you fear, that’s what I’ll sell.
I want all of Great Tang to fear me, seek me out, and, in the end, be unable to do without me.”
[What Makes This Story Stand Out]
◆ A fresh take on transmigration: No imperial exams or plagiarized poetry. He focuses on raising capital, making acquisitions, and selling remedies for anxiety in the Tang dynasty.
◆ Hard-hitting business warfare: Modern financial thinking breaks through ancient predicaments, while people’s anxieties become the lever that moves the economy of an entire golden age.
◆ A striking contrast in character: Financial tycoon meets bankrupt peddler. Watch a modern finance whiz “make something out of nothing” and rise from scratch to create a world-shaking enterprise.
◆ Solid historical research: Within a reasonably fictionalized setting, experience the everyday life and anxieties of the real Tang dynasty.
