Lone Wolf: The City's Cutting Edge

The Huaguo nation hides a mysterious unit called “Xuanyuan,” tasked exclusively with top-secret assassination missions. Chen Jin was once an elite sniper codenamed “Lone Wolf.” After retiring, he conceals his identity and returns home to teach at Yunchuan University. An ordinary professor on the surface, he is secretly a max-level powerhouse. Born an orphan in a mountain village, he changed his fate through sheer ability.

Underneath the city’s calm surface, political intrigue, corporate rivalries, and family feuds erupt one after another. Rumors spread across campus, assassins close in, former comrades go missing, and layer upon layer of conspiracy is exposed. Though he is on a quiet campus, he cannot escape the storm sweeping over him.

After an accident, he gains the “Lone Wolf Gauge” ability. His eyes can read the numbers above other people’s heads, letting him predict danger, see through disguises, and detect murderous intent. When the gauge spikes, a crisis is imminent; every fluctuation conceals the truth.

From then on, he sees people as targets and stays one step ahead at every turn. A piece of chalk can take down an enemy, a cup of water can turn the tables, and even a lecture can hide a lethal move. Campus disputes, village brawls, and political and business battles all become his sniping grounds.

While others are still guessing, he already sees the whole picture. His former rivals become pawns, and the hands behind the rumors are exposed one by one. He keeps a low profile, yet has long stood atop the storm.

The gauge is his eye, and the human heart his target. From a lone wolf in a mountain village to a sniper god in a national war, he will use his own eyes to take aim at the teeming mortal world, end every conspiracy, and recalibrate the scales of the world.
