Prodigal Heir: The Dragon's Trial

About this short drama

Story Summary

Longteng Group chairman Lin Yun forces his heir Lin Yi into decades of poverty to temper his character. While Lin Yi toils as a delivery rider, his wife Chen Xin builds an empire using his stolen business plans and Lin Yun’s secret funds. When Chen Xin allies with playboy Qi Tian, Lin Yi suffers brutal humiliation: drenched in wine, beaten, and forced to kneel. The climax erupts when dementia-stricken Lin Yun reveals platinum cards to protect his son—triggering Longteng executives to bow before their true chairman. At the Dragon Soaring Banquet, Lin Yi’s gold invitation proves his birthright. Exposed as the sole heir, he collapses Chen Xin’s empire and bankrupts Qi Tian’s family over $100 billion debt. Facing Wall Street’s attack, Lin Yi counters with ruthless stock maneuvers, crippling rivals. Rejecting Chen Xin’s plea, he channels Longteng’s wealth into education—proving true legacy is forged in trials, not blood.
