After transmigrating into the body of Wu Jianzhang's beloved grandson, Wu Chaoyue had a fortune and power to match. With no great ambitions, he had thought being a wealthy gentleman was more than enough. But after making friends with a few troublesome foreigners, his plans changed.
The foreigners liked and exploited him, the imperial court grew jealous of him, and the common people misunderstood him. Meanwhile, the threats from the Taiping Army and the Small Sword Society were already looming. With no other choice, Wu Chaoyue could only embark on a one-way road to overthrow the Great Qing.
Cixi, you're such a dear niece! Zeng Guofan, you're such a fine teacher! Yang Xiuqing, you're such a good brother! It's not that I want to drag you all down with me. You forced my hand! Wu Chaoyue cried out in anguish.
