Feel-good power fantasy, decisive and ruthless, no drawn-out drama, no bleeding-heart heroics.
Lu Chen transmigrates and awakens the memories of two lifetimes. After witnessing his family destroyed and his ancestral home seized, he instantly turns dark and strikes back from the start. With the skills and strategic mind of a war king, he swiftly settles accounts with every direct enemy in the courtyard: the malicious neighbors who stole his family's property, bullied his former self, and helped frame his parents. He kills anyone who does evil, refusing to negotiate or show mercy. He slaughters his way through the courtyard, striking fear into every resident, takes back his ancestral home, clears away the enemies in his path, and sets his sights on the mastermind behind it all. With the blood feud in the courtyard settled, Lu Chen investigates the chief culprit behind his father's death and infiltrates the steel mill to punish the parasites, power brokers, and accomplices who framed his father. He faces ambushes and reprisals along the way, but brutally fights his way out each time, severing the threads of the conspiracy one by one. He carves through the steel mill's criminal forces, finds clues leading to the higher-ups behind it all, and learns that his mother was exiled to the northwest. So he cuts his way west. Lu Chen heads to the northwest to find his mother and settle accounts with the corrupt officials who persecuted and exiled her, as well as the ultimate mastermind. Once he finds her, he protects her and meticulously sets a trap that rounds up every last fugitive ringleader, completing his final act of vengeance. Not one enemy is spared. With his fearsome reputation, he ensures his mother's safety, brings peace to his father's spirit, and forges a legendary tale of blood and iron in 1976.
