The Outcast's Counterattack: From Rural Bastard to Top Underworld Lord

share time: 2026-01-05 00:33:27

18-year-old Gu Zhao, an illegitimate child abandoned by the Lin family in the countryside, is suddenly taken back to the wealthy household by his underworld father—not for a family reunion, but to take the blame for his alcoholic elder brother's intentional assault. His stepmother sneers, "A bastard doesn't deserve to eat from the Lin family's bowl"; his brother beats him and calls him a "fortune-hunting bastard"; even the servants dare to serve him spoiled food. But no one notices that this quiet teenager has long laid his plans: secretly copying his father's smuggling ledgers, allying with the chamber of commerce president who was ruined by the Lin family, and even turning his brother's lover against him by making her accuse him of drug involvement. When Gu Zhao slams the USB drive full of evidence on his father's desk, and when those who once trampled him kneel and beg for forgiveness, he tugs at his collar and smirks: "Every 'bastard' you called me back then—I wrote them all down. Now, it's time to pay back."
