After waking up, Cui Mingyuan transmigrates into the eldest legitimate son of the top-tier Qinghe Cui clan.
He thinks he has an unbeatable start, but the moment he opens his eyes, he faces the threat of his entire family being wiped out: Huang Chao's army is at the gates!
The clan elders tremble with fear and discuss handing Cui Mingyuan over to appease the rebels.
Instead, he takes a broader view, rides out alone, and confronts Huang Chao.
"General Huang, if you kill my whole family, you'll get at most three days' worth of grain. But work with me, and I'll make sure you have meat at every meal!"
"You call this a rebellion? You don't even have a logo or a slogan. Let me help you build a corporate culture!"
"Ever heard of KPI assessments? Come on, I'll teach you how to motivate your employees... I mean, your brothers in the cause of justice!"
And so Huang Chao, a ruthless killer, gradually finds his whole style transformed by Cui Mingyuan...
The imperial court is dumbfounded: "Why is Cui Mingyuan even harder to deal with than the rebels?"
The great clans are baffled: "He was supposed to be a spoiled young master. How did he become a business genius?"
Years later, Cui Mingyuan stands at the pinnacle of power, with the one-of-a-kind Cui financial empire behind him.
Cui Mingyuan: a man who used slick talk and business plans to secure "angel-round funding" and successfully "go public" in ancient times!
