When Shen Xing wakes up, he finds himself a penniless orphan in Anling City.
No golden finger, no stroke of luck from the heavens, just an old house on the verge of collapse.
The great clans sit high above, wielding power and dealing death as they seek to wipe out every last member of the common-born families.
The people keep silent and the authorities look the other way. He and the Shen family are doomed to be lambs led to slaughter.
But on a snowy night, Shen Xing lights a bonfire and makes a vow:
“I will never bow my head or surrender, and I will never die by someone else’s blade!”
From then on, rumors in teahouses, tales on the streets, and alliances in dark alleys all become pieces on his board.
He relies neither on heaven nor fate. With only the fire of vengeance in his heart, he carves out a path through blood and snow.
When people look back on Anling City, they finally realize that the boy everyone thought was doomed to die
has become a powerful minister, standing tall amid wind and snow.
