Synopsis

Xiao Gu, whose real name is Gu Chen, was once the boy who swept the floors in the valley where Guiguzi lived in seclusion. Though he never formally became Guiguzi’s disciple, he absorbed the teachings of Guiguzi and The Art of War through constant exposure, and was especially skilled at using strategy to solve problems involving the economy and people’s livelihoods.

Using the strategies he had taught himself, he helped the fictional kingdom of Zhongshan avert destruction and rapidly revive its economy. Seeing his extraordinary commercial talent, Guiguzi sent his soul to the modern era through a secret art. The timing was perfect: in 2025, Jiquan City in China was undergoing an economic transition and a technological boom. Gu Chen possessed the body of a young man with the same name who had just graduated from college.

After transmigrating, Gu Chen combined his memories with those of the original owner. Steady and meticulous, he understood people and knew how to seize opportunities. As Jiquan City rode the waves of new energy, AI, rural revitalization, and livestream commerce, he embarked on a journey to turn his fortunes around.

The core appeal: Each chapter features one strategy from Guiguzi or The Art of War to solve one real-world problem. The challenges gradually grow more difficult, from governing people’s livelihoods in ancient times to modern workplace and entrepreneurial dilemmas. Every problem he solves earns him connections, resources, and growth!

Within 36 chapters, watch a boy who swept floors in a valley use ancient strategies to seize the opportunities of 2025 and rise from a rural college graduate to a rising business magnate. No golden finger, just real strategy!

[Guiguzi’s strategies + The Art of War + Jiquan City in 2025 + rural graduate’s rise to success + one satisfying payoff per chapter]
