After a lifetime split between bloodshed and hardship, Chen Hu, a powerful underworld figure, had fought through countless battles and seen the treachery of the human heart. In the end, abandoned by everyone and left to die alone, he faced a miserable end. As he lay dying, regret filled him. He lamented that in his youth, he had been naive, trusted the wrong people, strayed down the wrong path, and squandered his life at the expense of his family.
Reborn in an instant, he returned to 1985, to the most reckless days of his seventeen-year-old youth. It was the turbulent 1980s, a time of transition and disorder, when opportunities could be found everywhere, but danger lurked in the streets. In his previous life, he had been a spineless boy on Third Street whom anyone could bully. Thugs pushed him around, passersby mocked him, and every time he backed down, they took more. Eventually, he fell completely, plunging into a dark abyss.
Living his life again, he shed his youthful timidity and returned with a lifetime’s worth of underworld experience and a clear-eyed understanding of human nature. Facing local bullies who preyed on the weak, opportunists who fawned on the powerful, and the treachery lurking in people’s hearts, Chen Hu stayed true to his original principles and let his sharp edge show. In a chaotic world where the strong preyed on the weak, he would no longer endure or retreat. He would break through with his blade and make his mark with decisive action.
He would protect his family, crush his enemies, brave the turmoil of the streets, and seize the opportunities of the age. From a spineless boy everyone could manipulate, he would rise step by step into a prominent figure in a small city. The 1980s were a time of sweeping change, with the underworld hidden in the streets and sharp edges concealed in ordinary lives. Watch Chen Hu rewrite his fate and forge his own blood-and-iron legend amid the surging currents of the times!
