Xiao Jingyuan, the legitimate heir of the Great Jing Dynasty, was a man of both letters and arms, with the realm in his heart. But after his closest family betrayed him and his country was destroyed, he fell from a cliff with hatred in his heart.
When he opened his eyes again, his soul had transmigrated into a down-and-out modern youth. He had gone from the heir to the throne to a penniless student with nothing.
He had no money, power, or support, and endured humiliation at every turn.
Yet deep down, he was still the same heir, skilled in political maneuvering, perceptive about human nature, and decisive in dealing out death.
Once, he schemed for the realm. Now, he fights for the business world.
He uses an emperor's statecraft to break through traps, unmatched strategy to establish himself, and a talent for reading people to rise to the top.
He takes down bullies, tramples on the petty, earns fortunes, and builds a business empire, sweeping all before him and proving unstoppable.
From the mud at the bottom to the emperor of the business world;
from a trapped dragon in shallow waters to a man with power over all.
A beauty falls for him, brothers stand by his side, the world is in his grasp, and his great ambitions are fulfilled.
In this life, he will not ascend the throne, yet he will remain a king without a crown.
Everything he once lost will return to him in this modern world, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold. He will rise to the top once more!
