After disappearing for five years, Javon Forger returns from prison—not as the failed, spoiled son he once was, but as a living weapon forged by a secret cultivation technique. He finds his father missing, his family's company on the brink of ruin, and enemies at every turn. His newfound power is immediately tested as he must defend his family name from rapacious business rivals. At his lowest point, Javon is viciously betrayed by his fiancée, Aleesha Edelweis, who casts him aside for a more powerful man and reneges on a crippling debt that was his last hope. With his honor trampled, help arrives from an unexpected source: Sherly, his ex-fiancée's paralyzed cousin. In a startling sacrifice, Sherly offers to marry Javon herself, upholding a promise her own family has long forgotten.
