Urban slice-of-life comeback, hidden identity power fantasy, and a light, sweet romance, with no contrived drama, no brainless characters, and no glaring System flaws
At the engagement-breaking banquet, my fiancée smashed her wineglass at my feet in front of everyone. “Three years, and you’re still a useless good-for-nothing.”
Aunts and uncles all shook their heads. “Three years as a live-in son-in-law, sponging off his wife.”
I wiped the wine from my face and said just one word: “Fine.”
As I turned to leave, the most mysterious phone number in the city called me. “Mr. Chen, the person you’ve been waiting for all these years is already kneeling outside.”
They didn’t know that three years ago, I was the king of the entire underworld.
They called me useless, but they didn’t know this:
When I take a step back, I’m giving them a chance to live.
If I take a step forward, they won’t even get the chance to kneel.
