He was a shark on Wall Street. Now, he is the "Devil" of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Zhiye wakes up in the body of the most notorious Corrupt Official's son in history. His situation? The Father: The Empire’s greedy Prime Minister, hated by everyone. The Boss: An Emperor obsessed with immortality, treating the treasury as his personal ATM. The Future: Execution in five years. History says he must die. But Lin Zhiye smiles. He doesn't need to be a hero. He needs to be a Banker. In 1562, while the West is just starting the Age of Discovery, he introduces Modern Finance to the sleeping Eastern Dragon. Survival: Turning the Emperor's debt into Government Bonds, binding the throne to his will. Expansion: Using Futures Contracts to monopolize the global silk trade, draining silver from the Americas. Conquest: Building the Imperial East India Company and an Invincible Armada to crush rival nations before they can even rise. From a condemned villain to the ruler of a sun-never-sets empire. "I don't conquer lands with swords. I buy them." Tags: Kingdom Building, Villain Protagonist, Economics, Alternative History, World Domination, Industrial Revolution.
