In a Ming Dynasty plagued by heavy taxes and a tyrannical, immoral emperor, the protagonist Wang Ke is merely an apprentice at an auction house. By chance, he stumbles upon the secret methods used by cultivators, whom the Ming Dynasty employs to suppress the common people. It is at this critical juncture that he encounters the Fourth Prince, recently demoted to a commoner. Thus begins a legendary tale of a commoner rising to power, a 'fish transforming into a dragon.' As enthusiastically endorsed by Little Abacus (Bach Ngoc Sach), 'This new work by Vo Toi is truly excellent. Despite its recent release, it quickly became one of the top 4 most-read novels on bookzongheng.com. The story is captivating, filled with brilliant strategic battles and unique, logical combat scenes. I guarantee, fellow daoists, if this novel isn't good, Little Abacus won't even lift a finger!'
