[A little out there + mildly satisfying + multiple heroines + somewhat carefree]
Disclaimer: This is an offbeat story, so proceed with caution!!!
Li Cheng, a top salesman, transmigrates into the son of a wealthy merchant in Northeast China in 1915 and binds himself to the [Tycoon Investment Rebate System]: spend money on Zhang Dashuai, and you get stronger!
From the start, he intercepts a prisoner on the execution ground, paying a huge sum to save Dai Xiansheng from being executed. From then on, he becomes the most unusual "treasury" at Zhang Dashuai's side: when the marshal needs military funds, he delivers a mountain of gold; when the marshal needs weapons, he finds a supply channel. Every investment makes him stronger: a grandmaster of Chinese martial arts, a sharpshooter, a business tycoon, a king of intelligence...
He navigates Zhang Dashuai's concubines and the tigers around him, supports Dai Xianyu in competing with the Fifth Concubine for favor, and befriends the young Zhang Xueliang, becoming both his mentor and friend. Amid the tumultuous chaos of the Republican Era, he also builds a commercial and intelligence empire of his own.
From Fengtian to Beijing, from the Zhili-Fengtian War to the shocking plot in Huanggutun... Li Cheng uses gold to clear the way with one hand and iron-blooded strength to protect his interests with the other. His ultimate goal is simple: use endless wealth and foresight to secure his place aboard this great ship, defy fate, and make sure that deadly bomb never explodes at dawn in 1928.
See how a modern soul uses money and strategy to turn the entire Republican Era on its head!
