On his first day back in the city, Chen Fan, China's undefeated God of War, is humiliated by his mother-in-law. He has been poisoned by a rare toxin, leaving his powers limited. To the world, he is unemployed, but in truth he has returned to the city to lie low, recover, and secretly investigate the truth behind the conspiracy that trapped him after his brothers betrayed him ten years ago.
Everyone thinks he's a useless live-in son-in-law. They don't know that his “uselessness” is temporary, that he's playing the pig to eat the tiger. Nor do they know he possesses a supernatural talent for appraising treasures and the keen eye of a God of War.
Keeping a low profile, he turns the tables at a family gathering. Mocked by everyone, he uses his appraisal talent to win a priceless piece of jade in a stone-gambling contest, delivering his first face-slapping moment and stunning the crowd. That fortune becomes the first seed money for rebuilding his business empire and setting his revenge in motion.
As his investigation deepens, he gradually reconnects with the “Seven Swords of the God of War,” the powerful figures from all walks of life who once followed him. They will become the blades with which he sweeps through the city. When the Wang family and the forces behind the plot that framed him strike again, Chen Fan's rare toxin will finally be cured, and his powers fully restored.
The God of War awakens, and the dragon returns to the sea! He will no longer conceal his identity. With an iron fist, he will settle the score with every traitor, bring supreme glory to his wife, Lin Yuqing, and turn the whole world upside down.
Those who humiliate my wife will die! Those who betray the God of War will pay in blood!
