The protagonist, Lu Jiu, is the direct heir to a top family. Since childhood, he has been fed up with the prestige of his family name and never wanted a life where everything was handed to him. He always dreamed of making his own way through hard work. So, as a teenager, he secretly took some money from home, quietly ran away, changed his name, and built himself up from the bottom of the criminal underworld. With exceptional courage and talent, he quickly gathered a group of fiercely loyal underlings, forging ahead through bloodshed and seeming to rise from nothing, unstoppable.
But during a life-or-death crisis, his family's influence quietly emerged, and he finally realized that every time he had “turned things around against all odds,” every “unexpected rescue,” and even every “loyal underling” had been part of a carefully arranged game orchestrated by his family behind the scenes.
After learning the truth, he decided to lie flat. Looks like he can't escape inheriting the family business after all!
If he can't fight it, he'll just have to suffer through becoming the heir!
