Lin Chen was once the "waste" illegitimate son of the top wealthy Lin family. After his mother died young, he was exiled by the family and became the laughing stock of the whole city. Even his fiancée came to the house with his new love to humiliate him. Everyone thought he would struggle to death at the bottom, but no one knew that the inconspicuous black dragon jade pendant on his wrist hid the identity of the "Dragon Lord" who spanned the military, government and business, and controlled underground forces around the world - the supreme authority he had spent ten years of blood and fire fighting for in the overseas battlefield and the dark world.
In order to fulfill his mother's last wish, he temporarily withdrew his talents and just wanted to live a stable life, but bullying, calculations, and conspiracies came one after another: his family set up a deadlock to seize his mother's belongings, his fiancée's family teamed up with foreign enemies to covet the property he secretly controlled, and even the "brothers" he saved at the risk of his life turned against him.
When the last trace of forbearance was crushed, Lin Chen took off his jade pendant and dialed the dusty number. In an instant, the world's top killer was on standby, the president of a multinational group flew in overnight to apologize, and even the person in charge of the country's most important weapon personally called: "Dragon Lord, when will you return?"
Since then, the city's situation has changed: those who once stepped on him trembled under his feet; the family who once abandoned him begged him to turn back; the "brothers" who once betrayed him repented in despair. And when the confidantes with mysterious identities and top powers approached him, Lin Chen discovered that behind his mother's death and the family's exile, there was actually a huge conspiracy related to the global power structure. As a dragon lord, he stirred up turmoil in the city. While eliminating his enemies and protecting his loved ones, he uncovered secrets that had been sealed for decades, and finally stood at the pinnacle of world power, overlooking all living beings.
