For three long years, Ethan Rhys lived as a broke, live-in son-in-law for the Vance family. He cooked their meals, swept their floors, and swallowed daily insults from his cold wife, Chloe, and her vicious mother, Brenda. Nobody knew that Ethan was actually the Sovereign Lord—the supreme master of a multi-trillion-dollar global syndicate completing a mandatory three-year trial of absolute humility. On the exact day his trial ends, Chloe hands him divorce papers at her grandfather's 70th birthday banquet to be with Julian Sterling, a wealthy real estate heir. Ethan signs without begging and drops his cheap wedding ring into her champagne glass. Before he can walk away, twelve armored cars surround the hotel, and the province's richest titan kneels before Ethan, restoring his trillions and ultimate power. Ethan immediately bankrupts the Sterling family and cuts off the Vance family, leaving Chloe and her mother penniless in the slums. But his revenge is only beginning. Ethan discovers his younger sister, Lily, who vanished four years ago, was kidnapped by the Darkwood Syndicate—and that his parents' deaths were not from illness, but slow poison administered by Brenda Vance under orders from Lord Sterling, head of the Nine Great Clans in the Capital. Armed with unlimited wealth and martial strength, Ethan launches a crusade from his hometown to the Capital, crushing corrupt billionaires, taking down the Nine Great Clans, and reclaiming his family's rightful legacy.

We'll find another one.” But there was no other one. Sean died knowing the woman he had protected for six years had chosen another man over him. Then he opened his eyes.

She had no idea that the man she abandoned was preparing to become the most powerful survivor on Earth. When she eventually came begging, Sean would have only one answer. “You chose him when I had nothing.” He looked through the fortress window as the first signs of the apocalypse appeared. “Now that I have everything… why would I choose you?”
