On a rainy night, in a narrow alley, my cousin Lin Chen was about to be hacked to death.
I, Chen Mo, a cowardly younger brother who doesn't even deserve to be named in the story, tremblingly picked up the steel pipe on the ground.
Everyone said that among our two cousins, one only knows how to laugh and scheme, while the other only knows how to kill.
They got half of it right.
From the shadow of school bullying, to the blood pool of street gangs, to the top of the city's throne...
We temper trust with betrayal, water authority with conspiracy, and pave the stairs with the bones of our enemies.
Li Haoran, the proud male protagonist of the original novel, once treated us contemptuously as mud on the soles of our feet.
It wasn't until his business empire collapsed and he knelt in the rain that he could see our faces clearly in the shadows.
Su Qing, the original heroine who was as cold as moonlight, once swayed between two worlds.
It wasn't until she lost everything that she realized that there was some darkness that would last forever once she stepped into it.
This is not a comeback story.
This is an epic story of how two men with nothing grew fangs from the dust, made rules in a world of cannibalism, and were eventually crowned kings.
Remember our name - Lin Chen, and his shadow, Chen Mo.
Welcome to our dark night.
