The title is wrong. It should be 1855.

On the night of February 16, 1855, Liu Lichuan, leader of the Small Swords Society uprising, led his troops out through the western gate of Shanghai County, planning to join the Taiping forces. One account of the escape says he "led over a hundred men, set fires amid the chaos, and climbed down the broken wall at the southwest gate to flee."

But the breakout failed. Near Hongqiao, the rebels encountered Qing forces and fought a fierce battle. Liu Lichuan died in the fighting, along with the female general Zhou Xiuying.

Before he died, he entrusted an old friend and his staff with getting his son overseas. By a twist of fate, the boy ended up aboard a slave ship.

Liu Chengming, a modern-day chemistry student who made counterfeit goods, transmigrates as Liu Lichuan's son.

From then on, he charges unchecked across the American continent, beating up the United States and crushing the great powers, beginning his own legendary tale.
