In 2026, martial arts grandmaster Lu Zheng stepped in to help during a street attack. In two seconds, he crippled six knife-wielding thugs, but was ambushed and stabbed in the heart while protecting someone, dying an unjust death.

He had spent his whole life with real fighting skills that could put his life on the line, yet the peaceful era left him unable to use them.

When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated to March 1990, twenty-two months before the Soviet Union's collapse, on the eve of the K3 international train's departure!

That year, the Red Empire was teetering on the brink, gold was everywhere, and strength ruled all!

On this “death train,” he could finally unleash the skills he'd been forced to hold back in peacetime!

When bandits tried to hijack the train with knives, one punch shattered their nerve, and three moves took out every desperado along the line. He became the guardian of all the Chinese traders aboard!

When Moscow's gangs provoked him with guns, his martial arts let him beat the skinheads and trample the Mafia, subduing the Soviet underground and becoming the rock that overseas Chinese could rely on!

While others smugly made a little money flipping jeans, he traded baijiu for tanks and jeans for machine tools, earning 500,000 yuan on a single K3 trip and monopolizing Sino-Soviet border trade within six months!

While others fled in panic as the Soviet Union collapsed, he had already laid a vast, inescapable net, snapping up trillions in energy, military-industrial, and financial assets and claiming the biggest spoils from the Red Empire's breakup!

By day, he was a multinational Chinese tycoon worth billions. In the shadows, he was the uncrowned king of the Soviet underground.

He protected his countrymen, upheld the nation's prestige, brought cutting-edge military technology back home, broke the Western blockade, and became a legend.
