Sixteen-year-old Chu Yingjie is the son of an ordinary fruit-shop owner in the northern district of H City. His grades are average, he’s quiet, and in the eyes of his teachers and classmates, he’s practically invisible. No one knows what kind of seed lies buried in this silent boy’s heart.
When a man calling himself “Uncle Ma” comes to see him, Chu Yingjie’s life is changed forever. He discovers that he’s been drawn into a shadowy world of flashing blades, calculated schemes, and bloody power struggles. And his own uncle is the one who pushed him onto the gambling table as a bargaining chip.
From a pawn being used to a player who enters the game by choice; from an unarmed student to the fearsome “new power of North City.” Chu Yingjie goes farther and farther down this road of no return, yet grows ever more clear-eyed: this world has no eternal enemies and no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
When brothers raise their knives, when family turns against family, when an innocent boy is tempered into steel in the fires of reality, will he become the next dragon, or will he, too, be unable to escape the fate of the dragon slayer?
"The Storm Rises Again" tells the story of a young man struggling, growing, and transforming amid the whirlpool of the underworld. There are bone-crunching fights, schemes and power plays, betrayals between those bound by blood, and a flicker of humanity that refuses to die even in the darkest hour. Ten volumes and a million words of upheaval await. Come explore a jianghu unlike any you’ve seen before.
