Film critic Chen Zhiyue's soul lands in 1977 Hong Kong, in a world where the plots of classic Hong Kong movies intertwine. The Kowloon Walled City is rife with intrigue, and he is kidnapped by human traffickers the moment he arrives. Fortunately, Dragon City gang boss Tornado steps in to save him. Armed with the power of the Crab and memories of every Hong Kong film plot, Chen recognizes the boss at a glance. His shamelessness and carefully chosen words help him win Tornado over, earning him a place to stay in the heart of the Walled City.
Chaos brings opportunity! He rides the wave of his new surroundings to launch the now-famous Pissing Beef Balls, quickly earning a thousand dollars a day. He recruits Ah Wu, the “Pay Extra Guy,” as his right-hand man and swiftly earns his first fortune. When the United Society gang provokes him, he refuses Tornado's protection and vows to settle the score himself. He also sets his sights on the instant beef-ball business, with plans to build a canning factory.
A family with deep ties to the police begins investigating him in secret, and Cheung Tin-chi seeks him out, drawn by his reputation. In the chaos of the underworld after the Four Great Detectives fall, Chen finds his stage. Knowing exactly how every plot will unfold, he plans each move carefully, building his business and expanding his territory while befriending heroes of the underworld. In this golden age where Hong Kong movie worlds collide, he is determined to live a more spectacular legend than in his previous life, double Tornado's investment as soon as possible, and become a rising power that shakes both the criminal and law-abiding worlds!
