Chen Yi, a young man with modern thinking, traveled through ancient times and became a beggar. He accidentally met Shen Youchu, who sold his body to bury his father, and felt pity for him. With his extraordinary literary talent, he won the first prize in the Poetry Association and earned a lot of money to save the beautiful woman. Chen Yi made full use of modern knowledge to refine white sugar, refined salt, and soap to make gold for business. He revitalized his study with "A Dream of Red Mansions" and played with ancient business. He worshiped the great Confucian Zhuang Mohan as his disciple, married Jinlan with the fourth prince Zhao Hengyi, and made friends with capable people in the business world. Along the way, he encountered the jealousy of scholars, the traps of evil gentry and corrupt officials, and the hoarding of grain merchants. Chen Yi strategized and defeated them all. When an earthquake struck, he cleverly raised food to appease the victims and resettled the people with work. After being inspected and appreciated by the emperor in private, he made an unusual move and became the prefect of Linjiang. He staged a legendary life in which he counterattacked from a humble family, found a beautiful woman, and established himself in the imperial court.
