Cannibalism in troubled times. The weak must use all their strength to survive. Jiang Lan was born on the dock. His father was exhausted and his mother's hands were rotten in the fishing net. Lanterns from the Black Tiger Gang come three times a month and rob people if they can't pay. Grandpa gave twenty taels of silver to his cousin: "Practice hard and you will be tested as a martial arts scholar next year." Grandpa gave him twenty taels of silver: "Do some small business, don't think about useless things." Same blood, different fate. Jiang Lan doesn't believe in fate. There is a line of golden words in his mind - fate: merit is not given to others, God rewards hard work. Others rely on their bones, but he relies on hard work. Others rely on their family wealth, but he relies on his hard work. He wants everyone to know that even those who are stepped into the mud can stand up. If the world does not give him a way to survive, he will find his own way.
