I Transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty and Started Selling Kunlun Slaves

Dark, cathartic fiction + political intrigue and business warfare + overwhelming superiority Chen Jiu, a modern-day human trafficking kingpin and death-row inmate, transmigrates to the outskirts of Chang'an during the prosperous Tang dynasty on the day of his execution by firing squad. He becomes Chen Jiu, a street thug whose boss has just broken his leg and dumped him in a filthy ditch in the black market. But in his soul are the most advanced modern criminal methods, techniques for conditioning people, and management expertise. Keeping Kunlun slaves is fashionable among Tang aristocrats. Demand is high, but management is chaotic and losses are steep. To Chen Jiu, it's just a chance to resume his old trade in a new place. He establishes standards for conditioning people, monopolizes the upstream supply, builds a private army, and even makes guns. He plans to rebuild an underground empire in ancient times. It takes Chen Jiu twenty years to crawl out of the filthy ditch and reach the tallest tower in Chang'an. But he forgets: Every beast he tames is waiting for a chance to turn on him. “Black Mountain,” the first Kunlun slave he tamed, lies in wait for twenty whole years before striking a fatal blow.

He crawls back from hell to rule the underworld, the master of life and death. But the gates of hell have never truly closed…
