On a winter night in 1926, sewage splashed into Ma Sancai's nose on the bluestone slab beside the Qinhuai River. Agui, who was wearing black leather shoes, stepped on his cheek and forcefully forced him to steal the silver coins from Chenji Pharmacy - otherwise, not only would he survive, but the uncle in the hospital bed and Wang Shu, who was picking up cinders, would also starve to death.
No one knows that this nine-year-old beggar's body contains the soul of a screenwriter from 2025. One moment he was arguing with the editor about the lines of a palace drama, and the next moment he was plunged into the dirtiest quagmire of the Republic of China, having to steal and rob in exchange for a living meal.
But Ma Sancai clenched his frozen fists: he couldn't be like the original owner, a knife for evil people and an ant allowed to be slaughtered by others. This time, he will use the brains of two lifetimes to bring down the bully bastard and live a better life in his hungry days!
