Summary

He ran away from home at 16 and returned seven years later. No one knows what happened to him during those years; all they know is that he is now just an ordinary wage earner. Yet the beautiful SWAT captain discovers secrets about him that no one else knows.

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

Editor's review

This volume continues the urban narrative following the protagonist's return, built around the gap between his ordinary wage-earner identity and his hidden past. The highlight is the beautiful SWAT captain's investigative perspective gradually uncovering his secrets, while the attitude of Phoenix City's Luo family hints at unseen weight behind him; the suspense thread intertwines with urban social life. It suits middle-to-late series reading, letting readers follow the SWAT investigation's rhythm and feel the identity mystery and urban encounters advancing in parallel. The narrative emphasizes character relationships and suspense buildup, making it suitable for segmented reading on commutes or before bed. Pay attention to the two hidden threads—the SWAT clues and the Luo family's reactions—to better appreciate the complexity beneath the protagonist's "ordinary" exterior.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Not a good fit for

Reading tips

Sort out known information from earlier volumes before reading this volume's SWAT investigation thread to catch clues more easily.
Read the Luo family's attitude alongside the protagonist's wage-earner identity, noting the author's planted identity hints.
After each encounter scene, revisit the new clues the SWAT captain has obtained to keep the suspense coherent.
Read one or two chapters per commute to avoid long sessions diluting the suspenseful rhythm.

FAQ

Can I read Volume 26 without having read the first 25 volumes?

You can, but this volume continues the series' characters and suspense, so jumping in may leave you lacking background on the protagonist's past and his relationship with the Luo family. It is best to at least know the main storyline from earlier volumes, or start from the series' beginning and then return to this volume for a more complete experience.

What are the main highlights of this volume?

The highlights are the beautiful SWAT captain's gradual discovery of the protagonist's secrets and his navigation of urban relationships under an ordinary wage-earner identity. The setup of the Luo family bowing before him adds weight to the identity mystery—suitable for readers who enjoy peeling back a character's background layer by layer.

What is the protagonist's true identity?

The source only shows that he left home at 16 and returned seven years later, outwardly an ordinary wage earner, while the SWAT captain discovers secrets about him and the Luo family treats him specially. His specific identity is revealed gradually in the book; this volume's blurb gives no conclusion, so readers must piece together the clues as they read.
