In his previous life, Gu Chenzhou was a top international underworld operative, codenamed Phantom. He walked the shadowy boundary between worlds and possessed countless secrets, yet just as he was about to escape, the family member and partner he trusted most joined forces to betray him. He died in a carefully orchestrated explosion. When he opened his eyes again, Gu Chenzhou was reborn at the age of twenty, now the least welcome outcast of the Gu family. The original owner of this body was timid and long-suffering, someone anyone could bully. His family had long since treated him as a pawn they could sacrifice at any moment.
This time, Gu Chenzhou would no longer back down. Old enemies closed in from without, while ambitious members of the Gu family's branches watched him from within. Undercurrents in the business world, underground forces, old organizations, and international conspiracies intertwined in layer upon layer. Drawing on his past life's experience as an operative, tactical brilliance, and ruthless methods, Gu Chenzhou fought his way back from the margins of the family to the heart of power, uncovering the truth behind the betrayal and rebuilding his own sphere of influence.
While everyone thought the Gu family's useless outcast was nothing but a disposable pawn, Gu Chenzhou had already quietly laid an inescapable trap. He would fight for power, exact revenge, and settle every score. Everything they owed him, he would collect with his own hands, one debt at a time.
