When the apocalypse came, Zhao Haiyang was pushed into an icy river by his younger brother and wife, then left to die in the jaws of wild dogs.
Reborn with just 72 hours left on the doomsday countdown, he cuts off all emotional ties, sells every asset he owns, and turns an abandoned factory into a steel fortress.
Extreme cold engulfs the globe. Black snow buries the cities, and civilization collapses.
His younger brother, surviving with a broken leg; his ex-wife, reduced to a bargaining chip; mobs laying siege; armed forces coveting supplies: Zhao Haiyang uses cold-blooded logic to crush every threat one by one.
But after ascending the frozen throne, he uncovers an even more terrifying truth:
This extreme cold disaster, which threatens to wipe out humanity, is no accident. It is a selection experiment conducted by an alien civilization.
From avenger to guardian of civilization, the epic rise of a ruthless ruler.
