Underworld boss Chen Yangmin was betrayed by his most trusted brother Awu and his mistress Lisa, and died in a car accident after falling off a cliff. His soul was not dispersed, but he possessed the body of a beggar named "Lai Gou" who froze to death on South Street. Chen Yangmin understood that in order to turn over, he must survive first. He used his identity as a beggar to establish a low-level intelligence network, smelled business opportunities from an abandoned contract he picked up, and used all his savings of 3,200 yuan to speculate in stocks, earning his first pot of gold, 7,200 yuan. Later, he bought a foot-washing city that was on the verge of bankruptcy, renamed it "Xinsheng", took in homeless people such as Lao Shun, Xiao Sichuan, and Lai San, and set the rules: don't bully the weak, don't betray your friends, and don't forget your roots. With the help of the city government in his previous life, he met Mr. San Ye, a retired businessman, and established a foothold under his protection. At the same time, the betrayer Awu has taken over his Min'an Group, whitewashed himself as a "young entrepreneur", and is in love with Lisa. Chen Yangmin tolerated the plan, secretly gathered the marginalized old subordinates, and used commercial means to press forward step by step - exposing hidden dangers at the construction site, attacking the capital chain, and using Lisa to spread false news, which made Awu repeatedly frustrated. In the final showdown, Awu kidnapped the love of Chen Yangmin's life - community doctor Xiaoman. Chen Yangmin went to the meeting alone and fought back in desperate situation. Awu fell into the trap and Lisa collapsed and went to jail. The great revenge was avenged, but Chen Yangmin chose to completely clean up his case, sell all the gray industries, and set up a charity fund to help homeless people. He rejected the pleasure of revenge and climbed up from the most humble pit. He relied on the city, skills and connections of his previous life for decades to reorganize the layout at the bottom. In the end, he not only regained everything he lost, but also completed his self-salvation from "underworld tycoon" to "righteous businessman".
