Ten years ago, he was the world-famous number one killer "Du'e". He killed thirty-six traitors in one night and then faked his death and escaped.
Ten years later, he was Shen Du, the teahouse owner in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. He slept until midnight every day, made tea, ate melon seeds and listened to books. His greatest skill was pretending to be stupid.
His dream is simple: to live his life like this.
But when a man covered in blood broke into the teahouse and died in front of him, holding a token engraved with his "anniversary of death" in his hand, Shen Du knew that those ten years of ease were over.
People from all walks of life flocked to the town, and old debts came one after another. He was forced to take action again and again, from "I don't know Tingxuelou" to "Okay, I'm just Du'e". But as the truth was revealed, he discovered that what was more terrifying was not the pursuit by his enemies, but—
His "freedom" in the past ten years was planned by others. He thought he had escaped from the world, but in fact he just moved from a small cage to a larger one. Even the mute female waiter next to him is the rope that ties him up.
But this time, he didn't run away.
You can refill the tea when it is cold. After hiding for half a lifetime, it's time to sit down.
