The King’s Reverse Scale

Five years ago, I burned the Zhou family, Jianghai's most powerful clan, to the ground. I lost my military service, my citizenship, and everything else because of it. They called me a traitor and kicked me across the border like a stray dog. No one knew that I built an empire called the Yellow Springs in the abyss. Five years later, I returned to my homeland as an investor, carrying enough power to make half the world tremble. I've come back for only three things: to uncover the truth behind that fire, to reclaim the life I was forced to abandon, and to meet the three women destined to be entangled with me. As I return to Jianghai, the shadows of the city begin to stir uneasily. A dragon has scales it will not tolerate being touched, and woe to anyone who does.
