Gu Chengchuan, the eldest legitimate son of the Gu family, was betrayed in his previous life by his younger brother, Gu Chengze, and their adopted daughter, Gu Qingyan. Together, they trapped him in a five-billion-yuan project scandal and pushed him off a rooftop to silence him. Reborn at the very beginning of the crisis, he uses his memories of the previous life to meticulously plan his moves. He successively secures key projects, including the abandoned land in the west of the city, the Hongshan mining district, and Blue Bay Energy. He settles accounts with the traitors and the mastermind, Qin Shuhua, and repels a hostile takeover attempt by overseas capital. Ultimately, he takes control of the Gu Group, finds love, and completes his spectacular rise from disgrace to becoming an emperor of the business world.
