I, Wei Xiaobao, Want Power, Wealth, and Beautiful Women

In my previous life, I was Li Mu. I had just started making a name for myself in business when my car flipped and I died.

When I opened my eyes again, I had become Wei Xiaobao. I was a street urchin in Jiangdu City, an orphan with no parents. The neighbors all called me A-Qi, and after hearing it so often, Wei A-Qi became my name.

No System, no golden finger, not even a peep. All I got was a jumble of the original owner's memories: someone had found me behind a gambling den when I was eight and raised me. I had an adoptive older sister named A-Ying and a godfather named Chen Shouyi.

Before I could even get used to this body, someone grabbed me by the throat.

An old eunuch demanded to know where my godfather was. When I refused to answer, he threatened to cripple me, cutting off my hands and feet and turning me into a human stump.

A-Ying rushed over, crying, to shield me. My godfather arrived too. His appearance only made things worse: half a jade tablet and an inventory book from the Imperial Pharmacy tied him to the deaths of four people in the palace ten years ago, all recorded as deaths from illness.

I stood there, unable to move, with just one thought in my head: I wanted nothing to do with this mess. But I was already in over my head.

Fine. I'd already died once, so what was there to fear? This body was young, my godfather knew medicine, and the old eunuch knew martial arts. As for me, with the experience of two lifetimes, surely I could do better than the original owner.

I had to make money, protect the people around me, and stay alive. The rest could wait. I was already here, after all.

I don't have any other skills. I've just died once already.
