During the summer vacation after the college entrance exams, Zhou Yan's mother sent him to queue up for eggs. There, he met an old man. Bored, Zhou Yan chatted with the old fellow while playing on his phone, spouting off about politics and strategy. The old man left him a business card and invited him to study in Quancheng, a city in the north.
Zhou Yan became a freshman at Quancheng University. Half a month later, his powerful backer died suddenly. An old northern powerbroker laid a deadly trap and sent an internal-force master to eliminate him root and branch. His enemies watched coldly, waiting to see how this second-generation heir to a small southern factory would die. But they didn't know that, despite appearances, Zhou Yan was a chubby braggart who secretly had countless trump cards up his sleeve.
In this world, other people fought with martial arts, while Zhou Yan fought with capital. When money trampled the pinnacle of martial arts underfoot, this young man from the south completely broke through the iron-clad power of the north. In the end, it was Zhou Yan who would unify the land.
