Hu Yi and Cao Ye grew up together, but their fates took different paths. Hu Yi was recruited by China's secret SSB Special Bureau, while Cao Ye, his equal in every way, refused to accept it. After all, he was the school's universally acknowledged top candidate, and now he had become a laughingstock. Unwilling to give in, Cao Ye headed for an unknown region in northern China. A year later, he had become a legend, recognized around the world as a God of War. He had also established a base on a secret island in the North Sea, boasting the world's greatest military, financial, and combat power. In his third year of college, Cao Ye returned. He took a job delivering food and went undercover, and before long he and Hu Yi crossed paths once again.
