Chen Yu, a modern office worker, accidentally transmigrates to Shanghai in 1936.
Armed with the Eight Gates Token, he awakens the legacy of the Old Eight Gates.
The Bright Eight Gates each have their own special skills, while the Dark Eight Gates use ruthless methods.
From the start, he is targeted by thieves and con artists, but his sharp instincts for spotting scams help him turn the tables with ease.
Shen Yueling, the eldest daughter of the Rong Gate, makes her move, snatches the token of the Instant Theft Gate, and immediately pledges her allegiance to him.
Foreign powers run rampant, the Green Gang wreaks havoc, and the Japanese invaders are poised to strike.
He unites all sixteen gates, takes on the police, wipes out traitors, and fights foreign enemies.
Traveling between two worlds, he moves supplies, builds an arms factory, and equips his own army.
From a nobody at the bottom to the ruler of Shanghai, he alone turns the tide of a chaotic era.
Decisive and ruthless, peerless in courage and wisdom, he defends his homeland and becomes a legend in two worlds!
