Synopsis

After failing the college entrance exam, Zhang Yang, a young man from western Sichuan, stands at a crossroads. Retake the exam? Find a job? Or... On an impulsive afternoon, dazzled by the “glow” of his cousin’s military uniform, he chooses the third path: enlist.

He plans to do his two years of compulsory service, get a taste of army life, and then leave with a flourish. But the gears of fate have already begun turning, starting the moment he boards the train bound for the new recruits’ company in the Western Theater Command. His tense clash with Lin Jiadong on the train is only the beginning of his reputation as a troublemaker. The tough-as-nails squad leader Liu Xin’s brutal drills, the hot-tempered company commander Zeng Shiqiang’s thunderous methods, and the political instructor Meng Qinghua’s gentle guidance: this steel furnace of an army camp gives the unruly young man his first taste of the weight of discipline and the growing pains of becoming an adult.

Here, he meets Lin Jiadong, a brother made through fighting, along with the slippery, funny Lü Meng and Zhu Xiaofeng. From fitness tests and skills competitions in recruit training to field exercises and red-blue force-on-force drills in an elite reconnaissance company, Zhang Yang grows at astonishing speed thanks to his exceptional talent and refusal to give up. Amid physical exhaustion and mental trials, he gradually sheds his youthful naivety and discovers a thrill more exhilarating than online games, and a sense of honor more profound than fighting.

The thought of “just coasting along” quietly fades, replaced by a longing to stay in the army and an urge to push himself to the limit. When an invitation to try out for the White Tiger Special Operations Brigade arrives, the door opens onto a larger, harsher world. The reconnaissance ace, the electronic information PhD, the silent powerhouse, the brawler who trusts only his fists... Alongside a group of the very best, he will embark on a baptism of fire that leads straight into hell.

Special Forces Series

Pairings: Geng Jihui from "I Am a Special Forces Soldier"; Chen Shanming or Gong Jian from "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: The Blade Unsheathed"; Harley or Yuan Bao from "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: Fire Phoenix" (anyone except Thunder God is fine). Harley is really, really handsome! Stories without a pairing, but with a flirtatious vibe, are fine too.
