Lu Shan left a mountain village in the southwest and survived death three times. By the age of twenty-two, he had secured his position as the leader of Linjiang’s underworld.
At twenty-five, he founded Shanhe Industries, determined to go legitimate. But his rivals joined forces to frame him, freezing his accounts and wrecking his projects. Prison was just around the corner.
Su Qinghe, a newly graduated master’s student in finance, stepped in at this critical moment. Using capital as her blade, she dismantled the deadlock and helped him transform from a rough-and-ready underworld boss into an industrial tycoon.
By day, he is a patriotic entrepreneur. In the shadows, he controls the forces that keep order across several provinces. He stands by his principles and values loyalty, and loves only one woman in his life. He drives out foreign aggressors and protects his homeland, never allowing foreign powers to run rampant on Chinese soil.
With the worlds of black and white intertwined and the fate of the nation at stake, watch a self-made underworld legend carve out a path of his own, with black gold for its bones and a loyal heart for its soul.
