Synopsis

[Jianghu]+ [Workplace]+ [Romance]+ [No System]+ [Not reborn]

[Based on the author’s real experiences working in Guangdong, this is a story about migrant workers in cities like Dongguan and Shenzhen. This is not a wish-fulfillment novel, so don’t read it if that’s not your thing!]

In 1997, Zhang Zaiye, Li Yaocong, Jiang Xinyue, and others met while working summer jobs in Guangdong, and formed a deep friendship.

At the time, Dongguan’s economy was growing at a breakneck pace. Workers poured in from all over the country, finding factory jobs, taking shady shortcuts, or getting mixed up with the underworld. Everyone had their own way of getting by.

After Li Yaocong and his friends offend a petty troublemaker, they have no choice but to take the path of the jianghu.

Zhang Zaiye and Jiang Xinyue, meanwhile, return to their hometown to continue their studies.

Eight years later, the three reunite in Guangdong, and their fates become intertwined once more.

The jianghu and the workplace,

Brotherhood, friendship, and love,

And so the story begins...
