In 1849, the California Gold Rush swept the world. But for Chen Mo, who had already been there for three months, it was not heaven, but hell. Driven away by white miners, he was forced to toil in vain on the barren riverbanks, exchanging his efforts for cold mud and "fools' gold." He faced ostracism from his fellow Chinese, who considered him an outsider because of his short hair and lack of a queue; nobody cared about him.

With deep resentment, Chen Ping was reborn in America in 1891 and possessed the body of a 14-year-old white boy named Larry Livingston.

Go to Wall Street, that is your battlefield...
