Everyone knew that there was someone in the capital’s inner circle whom no one dared to provoke.
It wasn’t the Lu family’s public head, nor the infamous man pulling strings behind the scenes. It was the Lu family’s little menace, always stirring up trouble wherever he went.
Lu Anchen was the adopted son whom Old Master Lu had taken in for the sake of the family business.
He had grown up away from the family, suffering one humiliation after another, which made him fierce and ruthless. By chance, Old Master Lu took notice of him and brought him into the Lu family. He groomed Lu Anchen to take over the family’s under-the-table businesses. Thanks to his own ability, Lu Anchen soon secured his place in the family and became known as Third Master Lu.
At her first-birthday party, a tiny little dumpling was presented with all sorts of objects to choose from. She ignored every one of them, picked her nine-years-older young uncle, and clung tightly to his hand.
Everyone in the Lu family looked down on Lu Anchen, yet feared him. But this little dumpling was afraid of nothing and followed him everywhere, growing up at his side.
After Old Master Lu passed away, Lu Beiyan, the little dumpling’s father, inherited the position of family head.
Lu Beiting, the eldest brother, naturally refused to accept losing to his own younger brother. But with Lu Anchen protecting Lu Beiyan’s household, he could only swallow his anger.
And so, Lu Beiyan and Lu Anchen worked together, one in the open and one behind the scenes, to protect the family’s interests...
