Summary

He left home at sixteen; seven years later, he is back. No one knows what happened to him during those years—only that he is now an ordinary office worker. Yet the beautiful SWAT captain sees secrets in him that others do not.

Navigating a modern metropolis and crossing paths with all kinds of beautiful women, who is he really—and why does even the Luo family, masters of Phoenix City, bow their proud heads before him?

Editor's review

As Volume 17 of the Return series, this installment continues the mystery of the protagonist's return to the city after seven years, gradually uncovering the hidden past beneath his ordinary worker's exterior through the perspective of the beautiful SWAT captain. Interweaving urban life with questions of identity, the story builds strong suspense and narrative tension through his encounters with a range of characters and the striking contrast of the Luo family of Phoenix City bowing to him. This volume suits readers who have followed the series this far and want to keep tracking the character relationships and underlying threads, offering fast-paced urban suspense for fragmented reading time; those who have not read earlier volumes may find some character motivations and foreshadowing difficult to fully grasp.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who have followed the Return series into its middle-to-later volumes and want to continue with the central mystery
Readers who enjoy fast-paced web novels set in the city with identity puzzles
Readers who like the dynamic between the beautiful SWAT captain and the mysterious male lead and care about relationship development
Readers who read serialized fiction in fragmented time on commutes or before sleep

Not a good fit for

Readers who have not read earlier volumes and want to understand all character relationships from scratch
Readers who prefer strictly realistic fiction and have low tolerance for identity-contrast setups
Readers with little interest in portrayals of encounters with multiple female characters

Reading tips

Review the key plot points at the end of Volume 16 first and clarify the relationship between the Luo family and the male lead before starting this volume
Pay attention to the clues the SWAT captain uncovers as you read; jot down foreshadowing to connect later developments
Treat this volume as an advancing chapter in the series and focus on changes in character relationships rather than expecting a standalone conclusion
If time is limited, read the dialogue-heavy passages first to quickly grasp the progress of the identity reveal

FAQ

Can I read Volume 17 without having read the first 16 volumes?

You can read it, but this volume builds on earlier character relationships and suspense, so jumping in directly may leave you confused about the male lead's past and the Luo family's attitude. It is best to know at least the earlier clues about his seven years away from home and the SWAT captain's investigation for a smoother reading experience.

What is the core mystery of this volume?

It mainly revolves around the secrets hidden beneath the male lead's appearance as an ordinary worker. The beautiful SWAT captain's investigative perspective drives the suspense, while the reason the Luo family of Phoenix City bows to him is also an important mystery running through the series; this volume advances these threads.

Is it better to read in one sitting or in several sessions?

As an advancing volume in a series with a serialized rhythm, it suits reading in several sessions and in fragmented time. If you want to keep track of relationship changes, pause briefly after each chapter to sort out new characters and clues.
