After transmigrating to America in 1900, Chen Qingshan awakens with the memories of five lifetimes.
This time, he has a single save point in hand, and he vows to reach the pinnacle of power.
The Chinese Exclusion Act? I'll take control of immigration.
Racial discrimination? I'll buy off the entire Congress.
A presidential election? I'll pick the puppet myself.
From bloody battles in Chinatown to shorting stocks on Wall Street, from gang warfare to secret talks in the White House.
When the economy crashes in 1929 and America is gripped by panic,
Chen Qingshan is the only one sitting atop the Waldorf, answering the president's desperate call.
"Sir, the shadows will always serve you."
"...At the cost of this country bearing the Chen name from now on."
