Thailand, 1997: Starting at a Small-Town Funeral Home

Lin Rui transmigrates to Thailand in 1997 and becomes the young owner of a small-town funeral parlor. Things explode from the start: gangsters show up with guns! He has three days to trade his life for another! His golden finger comes online right on time, and amid a sea of corpses, he sniffs out a business opportunity: The dead are information! With a ragtag team of body collectors, Lin Rui escapes death, runs his business carefully, and builds it into an empire. He acquires funeral businesses, sets up a foundation, brings lawmakers into the fold, and arranges deals for powerful figures… The bay, temples, red-light districts, ports, coconut groves, Chinatowns… Blood and dollars fly together: Blown-off heads, dismemberment, and live burials take turns on the menu. Everyone keeps their wits about them: Even the pet dogs can turn on their owners and bite. When a financial crisis sweeps across Thailand and forces gather to make their moves, powerful players from every corner of the underworld compete to bid on a single lead. Lin Rui's face emerges from the shadows: “Body collection fee? No, I charge for information. Want to pay extra?” P.S. Highly recommended by star editor Xinghe. The live-stream chat stands up to cheer.
