The Soldier King of a Generation

The Soldier King of a Generation is an urban military web novel by the online author I Am Crazy (real name Zhao Lei), serialized on Zhangyue's Book City since 2017. It comprises 2,032 chapters and over 5.26 million Chinese characters, and is complete. The story centers on Qin Feng, a legendary Chinese special forces operative code-named "Dragon King": a blade of the nation and a figure who strikes fear into underground forces around the world. After taking off his uniform and leaving the barracks, Qin Feng retires to Huadu in search of a quiet life, but the tree may wish for stillness while the wind will not cease. Carrying a soldier's distinctive discipline and principles, he fights, applies for jobs, and is drawn into the tangled schemes of rival factions; underground powers, rough-hewn tycoons, and shadowy adversaries appear one after another, forcing him time and again to bare his edge. Meanwhile, his fiancée—famous throughout the capital—and the women who successively enter his life force him to confront choices of the heart. The novel follows Qin Feng from leaving the army to returning once more, always upholding his conviction to defend home and country, guided by the code "Those who harm my family and friends will be settled with; those who offend China will be punished no matter how far." Blending passionate combat with urban daily life, it moves at a brisk pace with escalating confrontations. The work was selected for the annual Top 100 of the 3rd and 4th Orange Melon Online Literature Awards and was adapted into the web film Extreme Rescue.
