We agreed on the twelve zodiac animals, but you've transformed into the Monkey King?

Wen Xiao, who had intended to spend his remaining days with his mother, was dragged into a bizarre realm called "Xume" by a man codenamed "Hai Pig." One step out, and time and space shifted. A parallel universe, Shanghai, divided between Chinese and Western powers. In this cruel meat grinder dominated by the twelve zodiac animal sequences, Wen Xiao drew the "Shen Monkey" sequence at the start. While other newcomers were still groveling for survival, the terminally ill Wen Xiao, amidst the storms of Shanghai's 10th-century Bund, tore apart all the rules with his bare hands. He used the power of a foreign firm magnate to manipulate financial conquest across eras. Relying on his "eagle eyes" that could see through everything and his "fighting" authority, he fought his way through the neon lights. Like a mad dog, he carved a bloody path through the cracks between the concessions and the warlords. "If the rules of this world only recognize foreign dollars and bullets..." Wen Xiao spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, pressing the muzzle of his gun against the forehead of this era. Volume One, "Shanghai's 10th-century Bund," has concluded. Volume Two: The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun – The chaotic era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms begins. "All living beings have their order, but I alone am lawless."
