Zhao Huan transmigrates and becomes a forgotten member of the Northern Song imperial clan, with no one to care for him or love him.
Property? Three dilapidated houses and three hundred mu of wasteland.
Savings? Not even a hundred strings of cash, barely enough to pay his three servants.
His cousin laughs at him for losing his mind, the pawnshop owner cheats him without a second thought, and even the local thugs dare to come to his door and bully him.
But they don't know that in his previous life, Zhao Huan was a legendary commercial real-estate developer!
What others see as worthless land, he sees as a gold mine!
Food streets, scenic canals, central plazas, all-night markets... A commercial complex unlike anything the world has ever seen rises from the ground.
The owner of the Drunken Moon Tower begs to move in, storytellers clamor to perform, and the powerful scramble for a storefront.
You have power and influence? I have thousands of businesses!
You have soldiers and horses? I have real gold and silver!
When the Song treasury is empty and the officials are at a loss, he steps forward and uses a single bond to cover a military-funding shortfall of three million strings of cash.
He is not the emperor, yet he wields more influence than the emperor.
He has no military command, yet he controls the economic lifeline of the Song dynasty.
He is Zhao Huan, the greatest merchant of the Song, and the creator of the City That Never Sleeps!
