Its light was dim, leaving the mountains, rivers, and earth shrouded in gloom. Outside Tongzhou Railway Station, a brand-new rickshaw from the East was parked by the roadside.

A Life Gone Awry 错乱的人生路
This book tells the story of a young man from a county town in the 1990s who accidentally ends up on a path that was never meant to be his. The old days of the underworld are gone. (This story is entirely fictional. Do not take it as fact.) The book warns readers never to set foot on such a path, no matter what. Good and evil bring their own consequences, and fortune and misfortune follow one another. You must bear the consequences yourself; no one can do it for you.

(No clichés, no invincibility, no System, no brainless characters) After the 1990s, the jianghu in the eyes of people from Jiangnan was very different from that of other places. People from Jiangnan weren’t tall, nor did they have powerful physiques. They hardly ever swore, and they didn’t roam the streets, fighting without restraint. Their jianghu was no longer about blades flashing in plain sight. They preferred ruthless schemes and power plays behind the scenes. If someone hit you, would you

The young heir of a crime family is forced to become a beggar. With nothing but a bowl from the start, he becomes the Zhu Yuanzhang of the underworld. Fresh twists and airtight logic. Italian mixed-race, ruthless, cruel, and realistic. He kills decisively, with every punch landing hard, every blade striking true, and every bullet finding its mark. A slow burn. Trust me, it only gets better as it goes. (No saintly heroine, no System, no harem, pure underworld fiction.)
