An Orphan’s Life of Luxury in the Deep Mountains

Deep in the remote mountains of Northeast China, an orphan named Xianjin with no parents scrapes by collecting medicinal herbs and digging for ginseng. Just when his fate seems most wretched, a new chapter quietly opens: a secret treasure buried in the old-growth forest for a thousand years propels him from an impoverished country boy into the turbulent world of urban wealth and power.

From deftly managing his dealings with three village women to navigating power games with three influential businesswomen in the city; from narrowly surviving an exploration of an ancient tomb to building the Four Happiness Group from scratch; from being a peasant trampled underfoot to a rising business star taking on the mayor's son head-on, Xianjin uses his cleverness, courage, and cunning to carve out a thrilling path to success between desire and morality.

This is a legend of wealth, power, and desire, as well as a life-or-death chronicle of an ordinary man from the bottom of society struggling, climbing, and transforming amid the tides of his era.
