Three Percent

Young Lin Yuanshan spent a year mountain-foraging with his cousin Zhao Hong—only to be humiliated publicly and handed a mere 30,000 yuan out of Zhao's six-million-yuan haul. After their explosive fallout, Lin Yuanshan teamed up with his childhood friend to discover the Ginseng-Growing Valley, harvesting rare medicinal herbs and partnering with herb dealer Chen Yazhi. Zhao Hongbiao repeatedly plotted deadly traps against him—but every scheme backfired, landing Zhao in prison for attempted murder. Lin Yuanshan then founded a cooperative to lift his entire village out of poverty.
