Nine years ago, a fire reduced everything to Lin Xiao, the uncrowned king of Jiangcheng's underground world, to ashes, leaving only a mutilated black iron plaque and a young boy named Lin Ye who had escaped from death. Nine years later, the young man returned from the fire and stirred up the storm in Jiangcheng with thunderous means. From snatching food from the tiger's mouth and taking down the Yechao Bar, to breaking through Baiwei and killing Zhou Hu, Lin Ye gradually uncovered the truth behind the massacre that year. When he discovered that his adoptive father Chen Jiuye was actually one of the "Three Jiangcheng Brothers" who had a blood alliance with his father, a revenge chess game spanning nine years officially began.

In this troubled world, let's see how Lin Ye fights blood for blood, uses violence to control violence, regains control of the world, and becomes a new generation of mad lord.
Reader comments
This anti-narcotics novel is a masterpiece with a strong plot, sharp rhythm, three-dimensional characters, and both refreshing feeling and human depth. It shows strong narrative skills and story tension in just a few chapters.
The work uses high-density conflicts to advance the plot, and there is no redundant text throughout. From the bloody confrontation in the steel plant and the reversal of the truth, to the late-night silence in the hospital and the life-and-death breakout in the underground garage, every chapter is full of tension. The interlocking foreshadowing and unexpected reversal firmly capture the reader's attention. Lin Ye's design of sewing the core USB drive into Nightingale's collar and leaving a backup plan in advance, and Akun's transformation from a deceived avenger to a betrayal and redemption, have jumped out of the cliché police and gangster narrative, making the plot both satisfying and logically flawless. Pain, but also the sobriety and courage to stick to the bottom line in a desperate situation; behind the madness of the villain Nightingale is a tragic life wrapped in obsession; the supporting characters such as A Kun, Uncle Chen also have their own arcs, and they are by no means tools to promote the plot.
What's even more rare is that in addition to the strong plot, the work always anchors the core of the anti-drug theme. It does not deliberately exaggerate violence, but uses the tension of life-and-death confrontation to describe the sacrifice and perseverance of anti-drug policemen. It conveys the weight of "justice may be late, but it will never be absent." It has both commercial appreciation and a positive spiritual core. It is a highly complete anti-drug themed work.
