My Rome Will Stand Tall

If your life kept restarting, dropping you from the peak back into the depths, would you still have the courage to begin again?

Lin Ye's answer: As many times as it takes!

He had been a poor kid hauling bricks at construction sites for 150 yuan a day, and a business prodigy worth hundreds of millions, fêted by the media. He had slept beneath cold overpasses and stood atop the city, looking down on his own empire.

Today he might sign a contract worth hundreds of millions; tomorrow, for any number of reasons, he might lose everything and end up deeply in debt. But no matter how many times he lost it all, he could always claw his way back from the most humble of beginnings!

“My empire has collapsed?” Lin Ye wiped the blood and dust from the corner of his mouth. His gaze only grew sharper. “No matter. I'll build an even better one!”

This is no simple tale of a rags-to-riches comeback. It's an ultimate test of ambition, resilience, intelligence, and redemption. Witness how this modern urban “unkillable cockroach” turns one devastating failure after another into stepping stones, ultimately building an empire no one can shake: an eternal Rome!

“I don't believe anyone is born to rule. I only know that the victor is king.”
