[Open During the New Year] Lu Shen, a street con artist, is forced to go undercover in a gang. He only wants to keep his head down and get by, but his “reverse psychology” makes him a legend!
When the old gang boss suddenly dies, Lu Shen’s legs give out and he falls to his knees, shouting, “Don’t make a move in front of Ninth Master!” Everyone takes it as a wise move to keep the peace. When enemies surround their hideout, he trembles and says, “Today’s not a good day.” His men rejoice, convinced their boss is hinting at the enemy’s weakness, and launch a counterattack. Starving and dizzy, he urges them to hold an election, only to be pushed into the gang boss’s seat. When they put the dragon-head ring on his finger, he’s completely dumbfounded!
And so begins his easy ride to victory: “I say east, my men hear west; I slack off, and they take it as a master plan.” One offhand “This place is filthy” turns a casino into a model of civility. A muttered “They’re hurting people” is enough for his men to shut down a drug den on their own. Even when he gets seasick and throws up, they hail him as a true hero who faces the storm without flinching!
Best of all, ten stunning heroines all throw themselves at him: a capable policewoman secretly protects him, a cool and aloof heiress runs a business empire for him, and a dashing underworld daughter sets aside her grudge over her father’s death just to keep him safe. A hacker girl, an international police officer, and a hidden-sect heiress also surround him. They’re all master overthinkers and fanatical protectors!
From a nobody in a county town to the godfather of the global underworld, from rookie undercover cop to specially invited guest of the United Nations, Lu Shen is baffled the whole way: “I really just wanted to stay alive!” His men cry in unison, “The boss is unfathomable. He’s teaching us to keep a low profile!”
A hilarious power fantasy about a timid con artist who becomes a world-famous legend thanks to his men’s extraordinary ability to read into everything. It’s packed with constant twists: the more he keeps his head down, the stronger he gets!
