In the late Qing and early Republican era, thirty million people from Hebei, Shandong, and Henan left their homes, setting off a great wave of migration to Manchuria.
After transmigrating by accident, Qu Shaoyang was swept up in it, too.
From mountain camps to river camps and ginseng camps, he crossed mountains and waters and endured countless hardships.
Lumber gangs, raft gangs, hunting gangs, gold gangs, bandit gangs, and ginseng gangs: people from every trade showed what they could do.
Russians, Japanese, and a tangled web of competing powers.
A sweet young woman with remarkable medical skills, a huntress with formidable martial arts, a ruthless bandit queen, and a bewitching proprietress: a dazzling array of beauties.
From having nothing to becoming fabulously wealthy, this is the legendary tale of an ordinary migrant to Manchuria who rises to become the King of Ginseng.
