Synopsis

The Sogdian youth A Luo arrives in Chang'an with nothing but himself.

No connections, no powerful backers, only business savvy and ambition!

He hides incense in dung to cheat customs duties, and skins a dead horse to make a fortune;

He pioneers flying cash to connect the world, outwits rebels, and takes control of the salt and iron trades.

He is the wildest lone wolf in the Western Market, and the last Merchant Sage of a chaotic age.

When the flames of the An Lushan Rebellion consume the empire's splendor, he gives away his fortune to aid the army, using the way of commerce to keep the nation alive!

From the trade routes of Hexi to becoming the richest man in the Tang Empire, see how a foreigner carves out a path through the Tang dynasty's tolerance and brutality to make his mark on history!
