The Rural Crouching Dragon

Kind-hearted Wu Fan saved a drowning elderly tycoon—Haicheng’s richest man—while on his way to the city for his father’s medical treatment. Unaware of the tycoon’s identity, Wu Fan agreed to be a live-in son-in-law of the Sun family to fund his father’s care, enduring constant humiliation. The malicious Suns, who Wu Fan had once helped, secretly tortured his critically ill father to death. At the funeral, they publicly shamed Wu Fan, prompting the tycoon (who’d been searching for his rescuer) to step in and punish the Suns. Enraged, the Suns plotted against Wu Fan’s ancestral home. Witnessing their cruelty, Wu Fan awakened, grew stronger, and fought back. His unique abilities impressed the tycoon, who recognized him as the “chosen successor” prophesied by his master. Overcoming obstacles and rivals, Wu Fan made a stunning comeback, becoming head of the tycoon’s conglomerate and leading it to become Jiangnan’s top financial group. He found fulfillment both professionally and personally with his childhood friend Xia Bingqing, who’d stood by him through it all.
