The Asura Returns Home: The Whole City Lights Up for Her

For ten years on the frontier, he was a warrior whose name struck fear into foreign powers. Beneath an old osmanthus tree, Su Qingge waited for him for ten whole years.

Then disaster struck. Framed by a scheming enemy, Xiao Zhan was forced to lay down his arms and return to his hometown in Jiangnan, stripped of his military honors.

He had no idea that the woman he loved was trapped in the Su family ancestral hall, with people trampling on the back of her hand and forcing her to marry into the wealthy Lin family.

Out of uniform, the former commander of the Wolf Fang unit was dismissed by everyone as a disgraced nobody.

The Lin family coveted the woman he loved, the Su family schemed to seize the betrothal gifts arranged years ago, and Jiangnan’s business tycoons mocked the impoverished veteran in his cheap jacket, certain he would soon be driven out of the city for good.

At a grand bidding event, the hidden power behind the trillion-yuan Xinghui Empire finally stepped into the light.

Thousands of screens across the city displayed Xiao Zhan’s face at once. The powerful figures who had just been mocking him fell silent.

The discharged soldier everyone once ridiculed as a worthless man stood beneath the dazzling spotlights and calmly said, “Welcome, everyone.”

One hidden trump card after another came to light: a supreme black card stunned an overseas luxury brand director; a one-of-a-kind custom wedding dress embodied ten years of regret; and the Shadow Squad, once under his command, emerged from hiding to uncover a bloody injustice buried for years.

Every enemy who had bullied or tormented Su Qingge paid the price for their arrogance.

The world finally understood that their greatest mistake was provoking this patient, hidden warrior and laying a hand on the woman he had waited ten years for.

“I owe her ten years of her youth. From now on, every light in Jiangnan will shine for her, and everyone will understand that she wasn’t waiting for a disgraced nobody, but for the man who holds the reins of power.”
