Chen Yuan, a 26-year-old young man who was left behind to farm in the countryside of the Central Plains, dug out a heavy gold seal while plowing on the southern slope. He didn't know what this red gold square seal engraved with "Hongsheng Yongchang" meant - until three days later, several groups of strangers entered Baihe Village.
The gold seal came from a private plane flying over the Taihang Mountains. Du Sanye, the leader of the "Hong Shengtang", the largest underground force in Zhongjing City, died mysteriously on this plane. A sudden internal fight caused Jinyin to fall from an altitude of 10,000 meters into a wheat field. According to the centuries-old iron law of Hongshengtang - the person holding the seal is the leader - Chen Yuan found that he had become an identity he had never imagined: the legal heir of a huge underground kingdom.
The problem is: no one wants a dirt-legged farmer to be the leader.
The heads of the four halls all have their own agendas. The Bai family in the provincial capital is eyeing the enemy, and the Chaoshan Gang from the south takes advantage of the situation. Chen Yuan's only bargaining chip was the gold seal he dug out of the ground - and his stubbornness of "why can't I do it?"
From Baihe Village to Zhongjing City, from the hunted prey to the chess players entering the game, Chen Yuan learned a set of survival rules that are completely different from those in the farmland through betrayal, use, and killing. He discovered that reading people is easier than farming. And power is more addictive than crops.
When he finally sat on the dragon chair, he found that the road back to Baihe Village had been cut off.
