Gangster Chen Tianhao is struggling in the arena of swords and shadows. The ferocious scars on his face are his illustrious military exploits and the mark of his struggle in the dark world. Under the neon lights, the city is surging with undercurrents and gang disputes continue. Although Chen Tianhao is majestic, he is full of guilt in the face of family ties. The rebellious daughter Chen Yue was ridiculed because of his identity and complained about him; and his love with Su Qing.
Once the goods at the dock were robbed, Chen Tianhao was in a desperate situation. At the critical moment, the wise guidance of his mentor Xuanfeng allowed him to successfully reverse the situation. However, his enemy Zhao Long was determined to kill him and joined forces with all parties to plan a bigger conspiracy to put him to death. At this critical moment, Xuanfeng and the old Chinese medicine doctor Wang Heling secretly helped Chen Tianhao, and Chen Tianhao was able to avoid danger again and again.
At the same time, Chen Tianhao worked hard to repair the relationship with his daughter. Under Su Qing's gentle company and Xuan Feng's careful guidance, the ice in Chen Yue's heart gradually melted. Lin Wan, Su Qing's child's teacher, also had a collision of educational concepts that prompted the reorganized family to reach a better consensus on their children's education. From the initial misunderstanding of his father-in-law Zhou Jianguo to the reconciliation after the life and death rescue, Chen Tianhao felt the warmth and tolerance of the family.
In the bloody storm of the world, Chen Tianhao gradually got tired of fighting and killing. Looking back, the warm smiles of Su Qing and her family became the softest concern in his heart. In the end, he resolutely gave up everything in the world, opened a cozy shop with Su Qing, and lived an ordinary and happy life.
The story of the rivers and lakes in this city is still going on, but Chen Tianhao has broken out of his cocoon and been reborn.
