In the turbulent early 20th century, a powerful general governing a resource-rich territory in southern China amasses a vast fortune from the land's wealth. Determined to safeguard it for generations, he entrusts the treasure to an American bank-believing it to be beyond the reach of time or politics. But this single decision sets in motion a chain of events that will span continents and decades.
Years later, his European descendants are drawn into a high-stakes struggle to reclaim the inheritance. Their search draws them into the guarded world of a Swiss bank, where secrecy is currency and every word may hide a calculated move. Espionage networks, political intrigue, and elaborate financial traps close in, each revelation proving to be just another piece of a puzzle intricately woven into history.
Rich in historical detail and cultural nuance, The Emperor & Financial Game is both a gripping drama and an intellectual challenge-one whose ultimate secret can only be uncovered on the very last page.
