For three years, Ethan Cole has endured life as the laughingstock of the Dawson family—scrubbing their floors, bearing their insults, and fading into the background of their lives as a mere nobody. What the Dawsons have no idea about is that Ethan is actually the exiled heir to the Cole Conglomerate, a trillion-dollar empire that commands fear across the globe. Once the youngest commander in a clandestine international unit, he vanished after a family feud that cost him everything. His punishment was clear: live as an ordinary man, reveal nothing, and interfere with nothing. Yet the world has not forgotten him. When six sleek black cars pull up in front of the Dawson home and elite operatives bow before him, Ethan receives the message he has long awaited: “Young Master, your exile ends today.” With his identity restored, Ethan begins the quiet process of reclaiming his power—but he’s not leaving just yet. The Dawsons, who have belittled him time and again, will discover the truth—slowly, painfully, and in a very public manner. As rivals, crime syndicates, and corporate foes emerge from the shadows, Ethan’s return sends shockwaves through the city. With each step he takes, he unearths a deeper conspiracy, a more insidious enemy, and a past he can no longer escape. The world believed the Hidden Dragon had perished. They were mistaken. Now, Ethan will rise again— not as an insignificant son-in-law, but as the formidable heir that the world fears. Power. Respect. Revenge. The throne he once forsook is waiting for him. And this time, no one will be able to stop him.

In my former life, I was a female healer, unaware of the true extent of my powers. My abilities caught the attention of an S-rank guild, and I was recruited with promises of prestige and respect. But instead of the honour I was promised, I was met with betrayal and cruelty. They saw me not as a person but as a tool to be used and discarded. I endured unspeakable suffering—raped,abused, exploited, and left to die when they no longer had use for me. But fate granted me a second chance. [Ding!] For enduring so much suffering until death, you have awakened the Pleasure system. You will be reincarnated into a new body. Would you desire any changes? I was reincarnated as a boy, this time gifted with the power to manipulate time and a pleasure system. As my abilities awakened, so too did the memories of my past life. The pain, the humiliation, and the injustice—it all came flooding back. This time, I vowed, and things would be different. I would not be a victim again. I would rise above the cruelty of my past and claim the power and respect I was denied. Yet, revenge is not my sole purpose. I will become the strongest, the richest, and the most influential figure in this world. I will amass power not just for vengeance but to ensure that no one can ever take advantage of me. As I ascend to the pinnacle of strength and wealth, I will claim what was once denied to me: control, respect, money, and the loyalty of those who once sought to destroy me.
