I'm That Cousin

This is a story of an underdog's rise, from 800 yuan to 80 billion.

He was set up by a scheming coworker, publicly humiliated by rich heirs, and loved by a beautiful, wealthy woman.

More than a decade later, he sits in the chairman's seat at a listed company's board meeting. Across from him is the family of a powerful official's son, the one who stole his first love. The rich heirs of today aren't even worthy rivals, and he holds the controlling stake in a company coveted by Shanghai's top power players.

The only daughter of a wealthy family, highly educated and beautiful, tells him, “I like you. You don't have to work so hard.”

But all I can think about is my mission to restore my family's fortunes.

This is more than just a feel-good underdog comeback. It's the story of an ordinary man carving a bloody path through the Yangtze River Delta with nothing but his own flesh and blood.
