Synopsis

Reborn as a merchant, wielding an abacus like a sword and controlling the lifelines of seven kingdoms. In his previous life, he was Shen Mo, a tycoon whose wealth surpassed all others. But after trusting his closest friend and fiancée, he was falsely accused of treason and colluding with the enemy. His fortune was seized, and he was tortured to death in the town square as he watched the commercial empire he had built crumble. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to twenty years earlier, back to being the orphaned merchant struggling to survive while minding the dilapidated Shen Family Trading Post. This time, he would no longer be the naive fool who only knew how to run an honest business. When he discovered, hidden in the layers of a ledger, a book left behind by his father containing coded records of the wars among the lords of the seven kingdoms, the gears of fate began to turn.
