Once, the Chu family was at the height of its power, a top-tier clan standing proudly in Donghai City. When Chu Chen was ten, a sudden catastrophe brought the family crashing down. His parents died, and Chu Chen was forced to leave home and live as a wanderer, never knowing whether he would survive from one day to the next.
At the lowest point in his life, he was taken in by a mysterious recluse and learned astonishing medical skills, peerless martial arts, and the art of the Eight Trigrams and divination. After ten years in hiding, Chu Chen returned. He looked utterly ordinary, dressed simply, like the most insignificant person in the city.
When he arrived in Donghai City, Chu Chen went straight to the Ye family, his childhood sweetheart's family. The Ye family had grown even more prosperous since the Chu family's downfall, and its members all assumed Chu Chen had returned as nothing more than a destitute beggar. They humiliated him without restraint. The Ye family's eldest daughter, Ye Wanqing, had once been engaged to Chu Chen, but now she looked at him with disdain and bluntly told him he was beneath her.
What no one knew was that Chu Chen controlled enough power to overturn Donghai City's business landscape. His medical skills could bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bare bones, while his peerless martial arts had few rivals. Keeping a low profile and pretending to be a fool, he quietly laid his plans amid the undercurrents of this prosperous city. Those who had once harmed the Chu family and humiliated him were about to pay dearly for their arrogance. See how Chu Chen, with his own strength alone, restores the Chu family's glory, rises to the top of Donghai, and writes a thrilling legend!
