Jiang Ye is eighteen years old, has no father, no education, and no supporter. His mother owned a grocery store in Hefang, and she had been coughing for three years without going to the hospital. He thought he would just hang out like this for the rest of his life - collecting rags, doing odd jobs, and saving enough money to buy a waterproof roof for his mother. Until that night, people from Beicheng broke into Nancheng. Tie Zhu led forty or fifty people across the border and smashed the damn shop to pieces. Jiang Ye picked up a brick and patted it over. This brick shot him into the arena of Nancheng. Huang Zhigang said: This kid is wild enough, come with me. Brother Ma said: You are quite interesting. Zhao Kun said: An 18-year-old kid cannot change the world. They all made a mistake. Nancheng is poor, shabby, and an old place that is rotten to the core. But the people in Nancheng refused to accept their fate. Jiang Ye started out as Ma Zai, a debt collector, and stepped into the position of Brother Yi step by step. Brothers, women, territory, betrayal - he took everything that should be taken and lost everything that should be lost. He is not a hero, nor is he a good person. He is just a bastard growing up on the streets of Nancheng. He lives to let his mother live a good life and let those who step on his head know that the people of Nancheng are not to be trifled with.
