Pei Yan, who worked himself to death on an assembly line in his previous life, is transported into a wish-fulfillment novel about the wealthy. Instead of making a comeback or going head-to-head with the child of destiny, he gives up his inheritance and only wants to buy a small home in Xishan where he can retire.
Pei Yan's only golden finger is remembering a few unfortunate turning points from the original novel, so he can avoid the biggest pitfalls in advance.
A dilapidated yard, then a fishpond fed by flowing water, then a fishing enthusiast's retirement paradise.
That's the entirety of his development plan.
But buying a house coincides with plans for a high-speed rail line, feeding cats coincides with a booming pharmaceutical industry, and the lab he casually gives money to sees its valuation multiply a hundredfold!
Dragon King Lin Tian snatches the contaminated land Pei Yan didn't want, only for his cash flow to collapse. Su Qingyuan, who originally thought Pei Yan was a nuisance, instead offers him shares in a logistics park.
The miracle doctor Ye Fan sets his sights on the lab, only to be chased off with a water gun.
Even the miracle doctor's fiancée, who originally looked down on Pei Yan, starts seeing him in a new light.
Gradually, a little fishpond becomes a logistics hub, then a biopharmaceutical park.
In the eyes of outsiders, Pei Yan's Xishan empire keeps expanding.
Pei Yan stares blankly at the construction plans:
"Wait, when did I decide to build a business empire? I spent ten billion to get some peace and quiet. How come I'm ending up with more and more?"
Elder Zhou from the provincial government: "Retreating in order to advance. That's the mark of a true master builder!"
"Even Elder Zhou is speaking up for him. He really is plotting something huge!"
"The Medical Sage is smiling at Young Master Pei so obsequiously. Could he be planning yet another pharmaceutical venture?"
"Quick, quick, quick! Stick with Young Master Pei and we'll all get a share!"
Pei Yan gazes at the neat row of fishing rods beside him, lost in thought.
Do rich people even fight over fishing spots?
