Hong Kong, 1979: From the New Newspaper to a Capital Tycoon

In 1979, Hong Kong was paved with gold, but undercurrents churned beneath the surface.

Web novelist Luo Yonghui transmigrates into the body of the crown prince of Xin Bao. Before he can even graduate from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he receives the devastating news that both his parents are dead!

Before their bodies are even cold, the newspaper's editor-in-chief leads a group of veteran wuxia authors in a joint coup: "Young master, you're still in school and know nothing about running a newspaper. Why not hand over your shares, before you squander Mr. Luo's life's work?"

Facing trouble both within and without, Luo Yonghui sneers, and sends his abacus beads flying straight into the faces of these old schemers!

Don't want to follow orders? You're all fired! The wuxia column is empty? I'll write it myself!

That very night, The Grave Robbers' Chronicles, a story steeped in Hong Kong's secret geomantic lore, appears out of nowhere. The Raging Sea, the Qinling Sacred Tree: it shatters the expectations of readers across the entire city! The newspaper's daily sales top one hundred thousand, and copies become more valuable than gold!

But this is only the beginning!

In the battle between TVB and RTV, the IPs he owns will decide who rules the ratings. As Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest face off, the cinema chain he builds topples the whole table. In the century-defining Hutchison Whampoa business war, he makes a perfectly timed move to seize the prize!

Sir Run Run Shaw sighs, Wong Yuk Long submits, and British taipans tremble in fear!

Starting with a newspaper on the brink of collapse, Luo Yonghui surrounds himself with beautiful confidantes and commands the power of capital, building an empire spanning media, film and television, real estate, and finance, an empire where the sun never sets!
