   Can a man raised amidst intrigue and power struggles, possessing immense wealth and a mercenary army, and with inflated ambition, find true love? Lin Yuefeng is such a man. He's described by many as "completely devoid of humanity, unforgettable, ungrateful, like a cold and precise machine, everything based on exploitation." Handsome, charming, exceptionally intelligent, and remarkably courageous, he instantly sees through the enemy's scheme placed around him, yet remains silent, playing along and luring them out. Unexpectedly, Ji Jing, a girl used as a pawn by the enemy without his knowledge, inadvertently enters his desolate and dark heart. He tries to rein in his emotions while simultaneously battling enemies on all sides. He loves her in his own way, and she loves him with all her heart. In a fateful ending, cruel destiny turns against them. Ultimately, Lin Yuefeng kills the girl he loves most, Ji Jing, with his own hands. This is the first part of the author's other work, "A Group Without a Leader," and also the prelude to Lin Yuefeng leading his allies to begin a new chapter in human history. Here, there is glory and dreams, love and hate, passion and vengeance. This is a completely fictional story, and also an ideal world. I hope these simple words can accompany you through your boring time. Thank you to my respectable and lovely readers.

    I recommend this book to everyone. It's a bit niche and slow-burn, with a realistic theme. The story contains stances, strategies, culture, passion, and a deep sense of nostalgia for the times. The rating isn't high, but the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. It's already over 1 million words. Through a near-realistic perspective, the author pays tribute to those who hold fast to their initial dreams in this era. Readers over 30 will likely find it more relatable. It's suitable for both men and women, and the female lead is my perfect choice. After chapter 20, you'll understand why I recommend it. I hope you enjoy reading it.
