The Ruthless King of Sichuan

Luo Ye Pingchuan, originally named Luo Ping, is a descendant of Chinese people abducted to Japan during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Bearing the burden of a family grudge, he builds Pingchuan Corporation from the ground up while navigating the cracks of a foreign land. He intends to steadily accumulate strength, but the Okamura Group, a branch of the Yamaguchi-gumi, recklessly crosses the line and abducts Takeno Mitsuko, provoking a conflict for no reason. Under the pretext of rescuing her, Luo Ye Pingchuan raises his forces, but in truth he covets the enemy's weapons, illicit businesses, and territory, plunging headlong into the brutal power struggles of Japan's underworld.

In a world where the boundary between the legitimate and criminal worlds is blurred and people's hearts are hard to read, Yamaguchi Mie is ruthless toward outsiders but follows Luo Ye Pingchuan without question. Okamura Megumi is coerced by her own family and has no choice but to infiltrate the enemy camp. Luo Ye Pingchuan's subordinates, including the formidable Sakagami Fujitake, lead the charge and clear obstacles with force. At the same time, he moves among official powers, forging ties through mutual interests and overcoming layers of external pressure.

There is no absolute good or evil in the underworld, and human nature wavers again and again in life-and-death crises. Underhanded schemes simmer in secret interrogation rooms, while political stratagems and armed force work in tandem to steadily eat away at the Okamura Group's foundations. War engulfs Osaka, and the prelude to a direct assault on the enemy's lair has begun. Witness how Luo Ping, a man of Chinese descent, fights his way to a path of power in the whirlpool of Japan's underworld and legitimate society.
