Shen Lie, a condemned prisoner, is reborn twenty years in the past and decides to put his brothers on the straight and narrow.
They start with small businesses: recycling scrap, hauling goods, and selling vegetables.
But all his brothers get the wrong idea:
“Big Brother’s playing the long game!”
“The scrap yard’s a front, the transport crew’s a route, and the market’s an intelligence station!”
Shen Lie: “I’m not. I didn’t. Don’t make things up…”
A man reborn hoping to go straight and a group of brothers going further and further off track build a business empire in Zhucheng, on the banks of the Huai River.
