In 1983, Hong Kong was the most chaotic and expensive golden age. Chen Zhe was reborn from bankruptcy and death in the late 1990s. When he opened his eyes, he was just a bad boy running errands for others and covering for his elder brother on the outskirts of the Kowloon Walled City. In his previous life, he had been in a club, been in jail, worked as a bankrupt, and was also treated as an outcast in the financial crisis. He watched his brothers die and become disabled, women scattered, and in the end no one even collected his body. This time, he didn't want to be a short-lived ghost who licks blood from his knife edge. But the problem is that his life, his brother's life, and even the money for his mother's medical treatment are all on the table of Jiu Jianghu.
But Jianghu doesn't just quit at the drop of a hat. The police force won't trust the conscience of a bad guy. Old-school names don't allow anyone to make a fortune by stepping on the rules, and the British-funded big class doesn't want to see the rise of grassroots Chinese capital. What's even more troublesome is that several women who should have passed you by have been involved in this situation: one is the top nightclub who wants to use you to make a comeback, one is the female inspector who uses you as an informant, one is the cold-faced daughter of the family film company, and there is a second-generation celebrity translator from the mainland who is more sober than anyone else. The two sides of black and white, friendship and interests, Hong Kong Island and the mainland, the old order and the new capital, in this long game that spans from the 1980s to the new century, Chen Zhe must prove that even in death, he can become the founder of a Chinese consortium.
