Shen Lang, a modern business elite, wakes up to find himself transformed into Wu Dalang: less than five feet tall, with a wife, Pan Jinlian, who can’t wait for him to die, and a neighbor, Ximen Qing, sharpening his knives. Everyone is waiting to laugh at him. But they have no idea that inside this tiny body lives a modern soul capable of turning the world upside down. He builds a chain business, plays political games, and lays deadly traps. When Ximen Qing kneels before him and begs for mercy, Pan Jinlian asks through red-rimmed eyes, “Who are you, really?” Meanwhile, Wu Song, off on Jingyang Ridge hunting a tiger, has no idea that his big brother has already turned all of Yanggu County upside down.
