Reading this, my fists were clenched. The male lead's anger ignited instantly, and he slew the arrogant villain on the spot!

    He was once the internationally renowned "Hermit," feared above all others, single-handedly wiping out the Tianluo organization and crushing the forces of darkness. At his peak, he retreated to the Arctic, fishing on the icy plains for fifty years. However, when his former enemies, in an attempt to force him out, plotted to kill his only adopted daughter, this dormant killer finally picked up his blade again and returned to the city. Under the neon lights, he blasted gangsters' heads with a Remington shotgun, sprayed bullets at a tycoon's conspiracy banquet with an MP5, and slaughtered film sets, streets, and casinos, each step treading on the corpses of his enemies. However, behind the carnage lies a deeper conspiracy—the death of his adopted daughter was a revenge trap set by remnants of the "Blood Demon" gang, and the mastermind behind it all was an "ally" he had once protected. With his white hair stained with blood and his blade dulled, he stood on the ruins of the city, coldly laughing: "The retreat of the King of Assassins is never the end, but the beginning of reckoning." (Recommendation: A revenge feast interwoven with violent aesthetics and human redemption, a blood-soaked romance.)
