Gu Qingyan, the eldest grandson of the Gu family, was born with a heart disease and was kept in captivity for eighteen years. Everyone regarded him as a "waste" who would not live to be twenty. At his eighteenth birthday party, his second uncle served him a glass of wine laced with poison. He bled on the spot and fell to the ground. The whole hall laughed, "A waste will always be a waste" - but at the moment of death, he was bound to the [Prosperous Business Owner] system: exchange business reputation for life. The thicker the assets, the longer life.
Since then, the sickly man has entered the most dangerous capital chess game in Beijing. The divorced wife was slapped in the face, the second uncle who had seized power left the house, and the business boss begged for an alliance. He coughed up blood and signed the merger agreement, used his illness as a shield, pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger, and counterattacked all the way to the top among the four major chaebols and the "Nine Bureaus" of the hidden capital circle.
He said: "This glass of wine is too cold." In this game, he wants to stay alive and invite everyone who has despised him to leave the card table one by one.
This is a huge gamble of capital with one's life, and it is also how a young man who was misjudged by the times managed to become the most despised throne in Beijing despite his illness.
