In his previous life, Zhao Xiangyang was the most “sensible” eldest grandson in the Zhao family, so sensible that his second and third uncles bled him dry, so sensible that he watched his eldest sister get sold off for a bride price of five hundred yuan to save the family, and so sensible that he learned the shocking truth from his cousin only on his deathbed: his father had been bought by his grandparents for twenty yuan as “livestock.” The entire eldest branch of the family had never been worthy of the Zhao surname.
When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn on the day before his eldest sister's wedding. His grandmother slapped him, and Zhao Xiangyang seized her hand in return. This time, he would no longer be a blindly filial fool. He would be a “wolf.”
He broke off the engagement in front of everyone and flipped the table to split the family. With the System at his side, Zhao Xiangyang seized the opportunities of the times with precision: his fishing skills earned him his first fortune, his ahead-of-the-times taste shook up the garment industry, and his legacy of Tai Chi kept him safe.
It was 1982, and the land of his motherland was on the brink of a boom. The old order was crumbling, the new rules had yet to be established. Gold lay everywhere, and so did wolves. Zhao Xiangyang had great ambitions. This time, he would not only protect his mother and sisters, but also investigate the secret buried for forty years behind his father's origins. And on this land of opportunity, he would build a fortress to protect every one of his loved ones.
In this life, he would rewrite the fate of every member of his family with his own hands, and take back everything that had been stolen from him, with interest!
