A 45-episode series by the Chinese Central Television, this drama follows the extraordinary life of Qiao Zhi-rong, a real-life businessman in Chinese history. Qiao grows up in a traditional family where he has been taught all the virtues such as fairness, righteousness, diligence, etc. As opposed to most merchants of his time who earns a fortune by cheating others, Qiao more often than not wins over his dishonest competitors by sticking to his virtuous way of doing business. However, while his business is growing steadily, Qiao needs to face a greater enemy - social and political unrest during the late Qing dynasty. With his wisdom, not only has Qiao tided through the turbulence, but has also brought into China revolutionary economic concepts.
