[Hard-Hitting Period Drama] [One Heroine] [A Passionate Underdog’s Rise] [The Southern Frontier Underworld] [Devoted Husband]
My name is Wang Zheng. That year, I was the only person in the entire southwestern borderlands to get into that top university among the Seven Sons of National Defense.
I clutched my admission letter, but at the station, someone stole the five thousand yuan for tuition. It was everything my mother had earned selling food at a stall for three years and my father had saved after his leg was blown off.
I didn’t dare go home. I slept beneath the Dalan River Bridge, then jumped into the river to escape some thugs. The water was icy and reeked of fish.
Then I saved Yu Wan, a Dai girl whose eyes were as bright as a freshly washed sky. She said she wanted to be with me. Everyone in her village laughed at me, saying a poor nobody like me wasn’t good enough for her.
With nowhere else to turn, I entered the fighting ring in the hills behind the village. The manager narrowed his eyes at me. “Student boy, win in the ring and take the money. Lose, and you’ll just have to accept it.”
I said, “I’m in.”
I had to earn my tuition, earn enough for the bride price, and give my parents the means to hold their heads high. I would marry Yu Wan in style!
My first opponent was a tough guy called Mad Dog. The instant our fists collided, pain shot into my bones. He swung at me...
The one who went down...
Was him!
