No broken engagements, no cheating, no face-slapping from the start, and no starting off with tens of trillions. That’s so annoying. I want a down-to-earth story about quietly becoming a billionaire without anyone noticing.

The Protagonist Leads a Faction and Has Tons of Underlings. No Getting Personally Involved!!
No matter whether it's about a ruler building an empire or a court official serving the throne, stories in this genre are always disappointing. The protagonist always handles everything personally and steamrolls everyone. What the hell do I need subordinates for, to sit around doing nothing? Don't they scheme against each other or want to rise up? You do everything yourself?
The Pinnacle of Underworld Fiction
I'm looking for books like The Ninth District.

This book is definitely the pinnacle of the underworld. It introduces in detail the two worlds of black and white, military, government and business in Shanghai at that time. It tells the story of a young gangster named Fang Zhengyu who counterattacked and became a gang leader. He fought openly and secretly and finally became the boss of the Shanghai underworld.
This book has a clear structure and rich content. It describes in great detail the Shanghai Bund during the Republic of China, where warlords were separatist, foreign powers were rampant, and the overt and covert struggles between the five major gangs: the Qing Gang, the Hong Gang, the Ax Gang, the Chopper Gang, and the Beggars Gang.
Detailed introduction to the major gangs in Shanghai at that time were fighting openly and secretly. The protagonist single-handedly used real swords and guns to conquer the world, seize territory, recruit soldiers and horses, and finally became the gangster emperor of Shanghai. He also served as the chief arrester and police commissioner of the five-nation concession. He was in charge of both black and white. He had tens of thousands of disciples, was in charge of hundreds of docks and hundreds of halls, and spanned the military, political and business circles. Even the top consuls of the British, French, German and American concessions had to give face.
