Ying Yao, an ancient overlord, was betrayed. He swallowed the immortal herb everyone coveted and wore the jade crown that marked his identity. In the midst of battle, his soldiers saw him fall, then watched him vanish without a trace. He returned from the ruins of Qin in an age lost to history and appeared in a modern city.
He carries the weight of a thousand years of history, knows the literary traditions, allusions, secrets, and ceremonies of every dynasty, and possesses the bearing of an emperor and the wisdom of the ages. At a glance, he sees through the world and the hearts of men.
He has shed his ancient armor, but his edge as an overlord remains undimmed. Bringing the strategies of an ancient ruler into the modern world, he protects Su Nuo. Together with his friends, he builds a business, develops a high-end personal care brand, and establishes a charitable foundation, gradually creating a vast commercial empire spanning media, industry, and assets.
He launches livestreams on historical and cultural topics, as well as popular-science broadcasts on ancient medical knowledge. His authentic insights into history and mastery of ancient medicine win him countless fans and spark a nationwide craze for traditional Chinese culture.
But the road is never smooth. He faces malicious competition from his peers, secret attacks by powerful investors, and tense corporate battles, while rivals keep provoking him with deliberate smears and covert schemes.
Once, he ruled an empire. Now, he commands the storms of the modern world with wisdom earned across the ages.
Grounded in his profound knowledge of history and guided by an emperor’s cunning, he protects the one he loves, expands his business, and carries on the cultural legacy. Amid the bustle of the modern world, he builds an unshakable commercial empire with his own hands.
