For three years, Li Tian was the laughingstock of the Zhang family, they saw him as a penniless, spineless son-in-law forced to run errands and eat leftovers. Mocked by his wife’s relatives, humiliated by society, and treated like a servant, no one knew his true identity. Until the day he finally snapped. Because Li Tian wasn’t just some poor nobody. He was the Dragon King, the hidden ruler of an underground empire,a man who once vanished from the world after being betrayed by those closest to him. Now he’s back, and he’s not hiding anymore. Armed with limitless power, a secret system that unlocks his god-level potential, and a list of debts to collect, Li Tian is ready to flip the entire city upside down.

His enemies will beg for mercy—and he will decide their fate. The line between man and god is fading. And once Jason crosses it, there’s no going back.
