At twenty-two, Li Lei came from a poor family. With a decent face and a tall, well-built frame, he had spent his early years scraping by in the city, working two jobs as a restaurant server and a designated driver. He was mired in hardship and had seen both the kindness and cruelty of people.
Naturally reserved and skilled at concealing his strengths, he was quick-witted and sharp-tongued. He had a carefree, roguish streak, but never crossed his own moral lines. Well versed in human nature and exceptionally good at reading people, he could easily get inside their heads. He was especially adept at understanding mature women.
His determination to escape poverty was etched into his bones. After enduring the hard knocks of life and climbing up step by step, he shed his youthful awkwardness and streetwise immaturity, transforming into a formidable figure of deep cunning, decisive and ruthless in his actions.
He acted swiftly and mercilessly, never softening his hand or letting sentiment cloud his judgment. With his extraordinary skills, he moved between politics, business, and the underworld, commanding both the legitimate and criminal worlds. From an unknown nobody at the bottom, he rose to become a top power broker who shaped the tides of the times. His comeback is exhilarating, with high-stakes action from beginning to end.
