Ten years of exile after being framed wore away Ling Chen’s rough edges in a dark, hopeless flight, but forged a will of steel in their place. Once cast aside by his family, he has now returned weathered by hardship, his eyes holding a chilling resolve powerful enough to overturn the whole game.
A conspiracy twenty years ago sent him tumbling from the heights into the mire, where he saw humanity’s coldest side. During ten years in exile, he clawed for dignity on the brink of death and gripped the means to turn the tables. When he sets foot in Binhai City again, the forces that once shoved him into the abyss will witness a reckoning long overdue: the hypocritical family elders, the greedy business tycoons, and the hidden hands lurking in the shadows.
The arrival of Su Muyan, a cardiac surgeon, is like a sudden ray of light. She is the girl who gave him a bandage ten years ago, and the only person now able to glimpse the warmth beneath his icy exterior. As he advances step by step along the road of revenge, the frozen past gradually thaws. Fate, as it turns out, is nothing more than a scrap of paper he can tear apart in his hands.
As the webs of conspiracy are peeled away one layer at a time and the family’s truth is exposed to the light of day, Ling Chen takes up the blade of fate. He will not only reclaim everything that belongs to him, but make every rebel against destiny understand: when the discarded son returns, he is the storm itself.
