In 2025, the business empire of Huang Chen, an upstart in Shanghai, collapsed overnight - his beloved girlfriend Su Qing and his close confidant Zhang Yuan secretly communicated. They not only emptied the core assets, but also fabricated tax evasion, insider trading and other black materials, pushing him to the gallows of public opinion. The former guests and friends have dispersed, and the past glory has become a laughing stock. Huang Chen, who has no choice but to stand on the Huangpu River Bridge, faces the ridicule of Su Qing and Zhang Yuan, and finally jumps into the cold river with endless despair.
When he was on the verge of death, his fingertips touched an ancient corpse at the bottom of the river. A vermilion elixir in the palm of the corpse melted instantly and turned into a warm current flowing into his limbs. After the severe pain dissipated and his consciousness became clear, Huang Chen was shocked to realize that not only had his injuries healed, but he had also gained the power of immortality - the elixir of immortality left behind by ancient cultivators. After being washed to the shore by the river, he looked at the unfamiliar world and secretly made up his mind: now that he was reborn, he would hide his edge, accumulate enough strength over the years, and never let anyone take advantage of him again.
