    Using destiny as currency, this is a mind-blowing, time-traveling trading novel. Shen Yuan travels through countless worlds, trading antibiotics for the Forbidden City and stealing billions from Wall Street with intelligence—each transaction comes with a hidden price. The episodic plot is tight and efficient, seamlessly switching between ancient, modern, and future, with the law of equivalence concealing the mysteries of destiny. The early urban transactions are meticulously planned, while the later scope expands to encompass countless worlds, full of playful arrogance yet profoundly questioning cause and effect and fate—it's increasingly addictive!
