Trapped in a harsh life in Shanghai, Li Chen discovers he's the vessel for the ancient God of War. Armed with newfound strength, he confronts his oppressive in-laws and navigates the modern world. As he harnesses this power, he must protect his love and face those seeking to exploit his abilities.
The lavish honeymoon suite where Li Chen and Zhang Mei consummated their marriage stood in stark contrast to the dark, sparse cell where Jiang Xiaolin sat alone.
In the dimly lit confines, the only object was an old television that had broadcast live footage of the opulent wedding she had tried so desperately to stop. Jiang watched with tears streaking down her hollow cheeks as the man she was infatuated with pledged his eternal love and devotion to another woman.
She had been so close to ruining it all.
But her twisted scheme had been thwarted, help arriving just in time. Now Jiang Xiaolin found herself imprisoned in this cramped, black cell on Li Yanyan's estate, punishment for her treacherous actions orchestrated by Li Chen's powerful family.
