Original novel synopsis
A winter night in 1985, Shenzhen Bay.
Chen Mo was betrayed by his close relative, his uncle A Can. Shot twice, he watched helplessly as 300,000 Hong Kong dollars were stolen from him, then was shoved into the icy sea.
In his previous life, he survived by sheer luck, but he lost his nerve and fled back to his hometown like a stray dog. His parents were beaten and left with broken legs for protecting him, and both died before they were fifty. His little sister was forced to drop out of school and marry, and spent her whole life in misery.
As for him? He drifted through fifty-eight years in a daze, sick and impoverished, and died alone in a leaking earthen house.
Regret swept over him like a tide.
“If I could live my life over, I’d make you pay!”
“I’d make sure my parents and little sister lived better than anyone else!!”
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in 1985, at the very moment he was shot to death!
This time, he was reborn.
“【Comeback Assistance System officially activated.】”
“【Core functions: physical restoration + storage space + skill exchange + information from the era】”
Chen Mo crawled out of the sea, his eyes filled with nothing but icy murderous intent.
A Can, Ghost King Kun... In my previous life, you owed me and my family a blood debt. In this life, I’ll collect it back a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, with interest!
Wounded, he returned home and used the System’s information about the era to build the grandest house in town in just fifteen days.
He sent settling-in money to his seven brothers-in-arms from the Southern Frontier Reconnaissance Company: “I’ve got something important that could change our futures. Are you willing to do it with me?”
Without a second thought, all seven brothers came from across the country.
“Mozi, I’ll follow you through fire and water. You can count on me, brother!”
