[A Little Bit of Edge]
In his previous life, Old Yi had no children. A dignified Grade Eight lathe operator earning ninety-nine yuan a month, he spent half his life planning for his retirement!
He raised the ungrateful Jia Dongxu, only for Jia Dongxu to die young!
He supported the lovesick fool He Yuzhu, only for Qin Huairu to bleed him dry until his pockets were emptier than his face. Her stepson, Banggeng, squeezed him for all he was worth, too.
Forget supporting him in his old age; he might even have to keep helping them out when he was old.
In the end, Old Yi was left with no one to inherit his estate and froze to death on a snowy night.
Fortunately, he was reborn!
What's more, he was reborn in the first year of the Republic of China, when Yi Zhonghai was just eighteen!
Determined to live a different life, he didn't go to Beiping again. Instead, he chose to make his way through Shanghai and break into Hong Kong!
To cure his hidden affliction and regain his ability to have children, he apprenticed himself to the last top martial arts graduate of the previous dynasty. With the help of a Taiji diagram that let him allocate points, he quickly made a name for himself in the Republic of China!
