Beichen, the eldest legitimate son of the Bei family, one of the world’s five great families, once led troops straight toward headquarters for the sake of a woman. The great families of the world joined forces against him, and after his defeat, his father rescued him and ordered him to begin learning how to inherit the family business.
Unwilling to accept his defeat, Beichen returns to his family and starts recruiting underlings, taking control of the underworld, founding an assassin organization, forming a mercenary corps, setting up a security company, and taking in orphans to train. Under his careful planning, his influence spreads like a web, reaching into every field. The world’s power structure churns beneath the surface with every move Beichen makes.
