Summary

Ye Zhengrong, nicknamed Bingfeng ("Soldier's Edge"), is a special forces squad leader sent to the western border. To escort Shen Zhaojun to safety, he fights terrorists alone. Ten of the eleven members of his squad die; he crosses the border for revenge, kills nearly a hundred terrorists in succession, and returns home gravely wounded. For violating discipline he is forced to be discharged and returns to Jiangbo City. With no education or technical skills, he fails repeatedly in job hunting and becomes a security guard. Again and again he steps in during workplace disputes, underground bare-knuckle fights, hijackings, and other incidents. As the remnant soul of Chiyou, mysterious ruins, and superpowered individuals appear, he is drawn into a larger conflict, finally accepts Chiyou's power at the Holy Emperor Hall, ends his decisive battle with Ling Han, and puts down roots in Miao territory.

Editor's review

A typical urban wish-fulfillment novel about a soldier king's return, opening with a ruthless, crisp border bloodbath. The protagonist is highly skilled and deeply solitary, suited to readers who enjoy tough-guy passion and counterattack face-slapping. The early security-guard workplace and street conflicts feel grounded; the later shift into superpowers and Chiyou's remnant soul moves into fantasy, with an ever-expanding scope. Weaknesses: the romance leans toward harem entertainment, the fantasy and urban sections connect somewhat awkwardly, and the long length makes the pacing uneven.

Reading tips

  1. The first few dozen chapters, covering the border and security-guard stages, are tightly paced and worth focusing on
  2. The mid-to-late ruin explorations can be read as a separate arc without forcing consistency with the urban line
  3. The finale's superpower battle differs greatly from the opening style, so set expectations before reading
