Two Hundred Million in Debt from the Start: I Made a Comeback by Trading Goods Between Two Worlds

After his family is destroyed and everyone he loves is killed, Lin Yan falls victim to a conspiracy orchestrated by enemies both inside and out, saddling him with a staggering debt of 200 million. Ruthless creditors close in and threaten him at every turn, while corporate tycoon Shen Mingyuan secretly plots to frame him. At death's door, the ancestral jade pendant bearing a dragon pattern awakens, granting him the extraordinary ability to travel between modern society and the ancient Great Jing Dynasty. In the modern world, he must lie low and gather solid evidence and witnesses to take on the corporate conglomerate and criminal forces, and avenge his father's wrongful death. Meanwhile, in Great Jing, war and famine ravage the land. Drought and locusts devastate the fields, refugees fill the roads, corrupt ministers hold the court in their grip, and the iron cavalry of the northern grasslands eyes the Central Plains. The entire dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse. Using modern supplies such as lighters, anti-inflammatory medicines, steel, and machine tools as bargaining chips to turn the tide in a chaotic age, he meets Empress Su Qingluan, who cares deeply for her people. Together, they provide relief through public works, purge treacherous officials from the court, train an army that combines modern tactics with traditional methods, and launch a northern campaign to sweep away the threat from the grasslands, gradually leading the war-torn realm toward prosperity. Yet a vast, unknown danger lurks behind the pendant's power. The widely circulated tale of a “third jade pendant” is nothing but a falsehood spread by traitors to sow chaos and stage a comeback. The ritual to unite the two pendants will also tear open a rift in space and time, allowing vicious invaders from another world to spy on the fate of both realms. After countless treacherous political struggles and bloody battles, Lin Yan finally breaks free of his debt, settles the old blood feud that has festered for years in the modern world, and establishes a system of dual rule with Su Qingluan. By abiding by the laws governing both realms and refusing to abuse his immense power for unearned gain, he ultimately realizes his dream of transcending the mortal world and the dynasty to protect the homes and hearths of both realms, and safeguard their lands together.
