Yang Zhi was once nicknamed "the ugly duckling" (someone looked down on due to appearance and background, similar to the Western concept of "ugly duckling") because of his poor family background and ordinary looks. He endured countless ridicule and cold shoulders, and even his first love Bai Jingjing left him. A twist of fate came unexpectedly—he strayed into the field of "mercenaries" (soldiers who receive professional military training and perform high-risk missions, similar to the Western concept of "mercenary"). After enduring life-and-death trials, he was reborn, not only mastering powerful "martial arts" skills (traditional Chinese martial arts integrating oriental combat techniques, similar to the Western concept of "martial arts") but also accumulating rich experience and resources.

After returning to his hometown, Yang Zhi founded Zhikang Group. With his sharp business acumen and iron-fisted tactics, he made rapid progress in the business world—acquiring Qingyuan Company, competing for casino equity, and winning cross-border trade wars. He quickly rose to become a mysterious and low-key "billionaire tycoon" (a top wealthy person in control of a huge business empire, similar to the Western concept of "billionaire tycoon"). At a lively "high school reunion" (an event where classmates gather again after graduation, similar to the Western concept of "high school reunion"), he reunited with his former first love Bai Jingjing (now his class monitor’s girlfriend) and the former campus beauty Shui Bingqing (who had become a sexy and capable "professional woman"—an office worker, similar to the Western concept of "professional woman"). Long-buried emotions were rekindled, and a delicate emotional entanglement unfolded between the three.

When recruiting a secretary for the company, Yang Zhi put forward three special requirements: "a curvy figure, beautiful appearance, and being caring and affectionate", which caused a stir. This also led to interesting workplace interactions with several female characters including Lin Wan’er. As his business territory expanded, he not only had to deal with open and hidden threats in the business world but also accidentally got involved in the pursuit of cross-border drug lords and confrontations with "aristocratic families" (powerful wealthy families with a century-old heritage, similar to the Western concept of "aristocratic family"). His hidden identity as a martial artist was gradually exposed, and exciting plots such as underground boxing matches, master duels, and disputes between ancient martial arts sects followed one after another.

With his decisive character, extraordinary business strategy, and top-tier martial arts skills, Yang Zhi shattered hostile forces and protected his loved ones while making choices amid emotional twists and turns. In the end, he defeated the martial arts master Chen Tiannan, completely removed all obstacles, and chose to retire after achieving great success to live a peaceful rural life. He completed a legendary transformation from a down-and-out youth to an "unrivaled warrior". The entire book is full of excitement without dull moments, weaving together the wisdom of business battles with the passion of martial arts, and featuring a touching emotional line. It perfectly interprets the universally relatable theme of "ordinary people achieving extraordinary things through counterattack".
