In America, Starting Out as the Warden of Alcatraz

Wu Nian transmigrates to Earth in a parallel world, where he becomes the owner of an island in America. Unfortunately, the island has nothing but a grand mansion and a sixty-year-old butler. Penniless, he has no choice but to sign a pact with demons so he can get electricity restored to the mansion. He fulfills people’s desires in exchange for the things he and the seven demons want. It starts with inviting an uncle he hasn’t spoken to in over a hundred years to the island. Soon, Los Angeles’s upper circles are in an uproar. They’ve heard there’s a Demon Island out at sea, owned by a young Chinese man who can grant any wish, as long as you can afford the price. After that, no celebrity anywhere in the world, whether a Nobel Prize winner or a billionaire, can call themselves truly elite unless they’ve visited the island. The demons whisper, and the celebrities revel: “Wu Nian, let’s throw a party.”
