Lin Chen grew up poor in Qingxi Village, L City. Forced to drop out of school at sixteen, he earns his living carrying bricks by day and studies in a bookstore late into the night. Stubborn and proud, he fights to put down roots in the mud.
No one knows he is the sole surviving heir of a top reclusive family. When a powerful faction hunted his clan down and wiped them out, a loyal old servant risked his life to smuggle Lin Chen away, concealing his identity and deliberately raising him in poverty to keep him safe.
In the hardship of the mountain village, he first meets Su Wan, a kindhearted country girl whose fate mirrors his own. They share hardships and warmth, becoming a light for each other.
After leaving the village for the city, he gradually uncovers the bloody feud behind his origins, awakening from years in hiding and rising against the odds.
Along the way, he encounters a gentle, compassionate heiress and a haughty young lady whose deep-seated prejudices make her prickly. Each faces her own trials and struggles of the heart.
Cold stares, assassins, schemes, and old grudges come one after another.
The stubborn young man braves countless storms on his journey through the mortal world. With three women at his side, each tempered by hardship, he settles the blood debt of his family’s destruction and restores his clan’s former glory. From a nobody in the wilderness, he rises to the top of the city as its Dragon Lord!
