Chapter 1 — : The Bridal Chamber Swaps the Groom

In the city of Linjiang, there was the Dragon Sea Group.
Wearing a security guard uniform, Fang Shuotian followed a BMW 750 into the underground parking lot.
After the car stopped, Fang Shuotian ran to the side of the car and lightly tapped on the window.
The window rolled down, revealing a narrow gap.
Through the gap, one could see a beautiful woman sitting inside the car, wearing a women's suit, sunglasses, and heavy makeup.
The woman was Fang Shuotian's nominal wife, Su Lingxue.
Su Lingxue looked straight ahead without even glancing at Fang Shuotian, and said in an extremely cold tone, "What's the matter with you coming to find me so early in the morning?"
Fang Shuotian's expression was very conflicted. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to say, "Wife, please help me! Lend me ten thousand yuan as an emergency fund, and I will find a way to pay you back in the future."
Su Lingxue took off her sunglasses, turned her head to look at Fang Shuotian, and said with a displeased expression, "Wife? Are you out of your mind, or am I not awake yet? How dare you call me your wife?"
Fang Shuotian quickly corrected himself, "Su... Su Lingxue! I'm sorry. It was a slip of the tongue."
"Good that you know. If you call me wrong again, don't even think about getting a single cent from me."
Saying that, Su Lingxue took out a Dior saddle bag from the passenger seat and took out ten thousand yuan in cash from it. Then she opened the door, got out of the car, and handed the money to Fang Shuotian.
"I really don't understand what my grandfather was thinking, not allowing me to divorce you. Just the thought of our names being written on a marriage certificate makes me feel sick."
Fang Shuotian lowered his head and said, "Yes! With my status, I am not worthy of you, Miss Su!"
Su Lingxue coldly said, "Is this your attitude when you need money?"
Fang Shuotian clenched his fists slightly. Although he was dissatisfied, he slowly knelt down on both knees and said, "I was wrong. I didn't realize my place."
As the saying goes, a man can make a fortune if he kneels down.
But at this moment, Fang Shuotian couldn't care less about his dignity as a man. All he needed was money.
Life-saving money!
Su Lingxue looked down at him with lowered eyebrows, as if she was looking at a begging dog wagging its tail. "A stinky dog, shameless."
After saying that, she forcefully smashed the cash in her hand onto Fang Shuotian's head, and the banknotes scattered on the ground like fallen leaves.
Su Lingxue walked away with her high heels, full of arrogance, leaving behind a sentence, "You don't need to repay the money, consider it lost."
"Thank you, Miss Su!"
Fang Shuotian forced a smile and then squatted on the ground, picking up the banknotes one by one.
At this peak hour of going to work, there were often white-collar workers passing by in the underground parking lot.
Seeing Fang Shuotian picking up money in such a ridiculous manner, the crowd made mocking remarks:
"Look! Isn't that the 'King of Green Hats'?"
"It really is him. I guess he came to ask his wife for money."
"A man who has reached his level is better off dead!"
"Hahaha... I wish he would die. Then I would have a chance to pursue Miss Su."
"Just forget it. Are you not afraid that Young Master Shen will trouble you for saying such things? Everyone in Linjiang City knows about Miss Su's affair with Young Master Shen!"
"Just joking, don't spread rumors!"
...
Listening to the cold ridicule from the passing white-collar workers, Fang Shuotian clenched his lips, his cheeks burning, filled with humiliation and anger.
His marriage with Su Lingxue was like a farce, but it all started with his background.
Fang Shuotian's mother, Chen Meiyun, was once a servant of the Fang family in the capital city. However, she developed a relationship with the eldest son of the Fang family, Fang Shiming, who was also Fang Shuotian's biological father. In the end, she gave birth to Fang Shuotian.
As the saying goes, the mother's status determines the child's status.
But the difference in status between Chen Meiyun and Fang Shiming was like heaven and earth.
Chen Meiyun was eventually driven out of the Fang family, bringing the infant Fang Shuotian to the southwestern city of Linjiang.
A year ago, the Su family found a way to establish a connection with the Fang family, hoping to establish a relationship with them.
As one of the four major families in the capital city, the Fang family naturally looked down on the Su family, a small family. However, the Fang family had a thought: wasn't there an abandoned son in Linjiang City?
Since this abandoned son was insignificant, they agreed to let Fang Shuotian marry into the Su family.
Coincidentally, Fang Shuotian and Su Lingxue were high school classmates and knew each other. The Su family readily agreed to this marriage.
Being able to establish a relationship with a noble family in the capital city, even if it meant marrying an abandoned son, the Su family would agree.
But fate played a trick, and on their wedding night, news of the Fang family's downfall arrived.
Due to face-saving reasons, the Su family still allowed Fang Shuotian and Su Lingxue to complete the wedding. On their bridal night, Fang Shuotian was unable to enter the bridal chamber and was instead driven out of the house by the snobbish Su Lingxue.
And the young master of the Shen family in Linjiang City, Shen Feng, took the opportunity to step in and express his love to Su Lingxue.
That night, it was Shen Feng who fulfilled the role of the groom for Fang Shuotian.
Since then, a well-known joke spread throughout Linjiang City: the bridal chamber swaps the groom!
Fang Shuotian was also labeled as the 'King of Green Hats'.
As a man, this was an unbearable humiliation.
Fang Shuotian also wanted to end this farce-like marriage, and the Su family also had the same intention.
After all, the Fang family was already gone, and there was no need to keep Fang Shuotian, a useless waste.
However, on the second day of the marriage, the Su family's patriarch scolded Su Lingxue and instructed everyone in the Su family not to underestimate Fang Shuotian. At the same time, he told Su Lingxue not to dissolve the marriage contract, as it would be detrimental to the Su family.
No one knew the reason behind this, not even Fang Shuotian himself.
Half a month later, the Su family patriarch passed away, and no one could know why he valued Fang Shuotian so much.
Fang Shuotian was insignificant and had no control over even the matter of divorce.
He could only stay in the Su family, becoming a useless son-in-law in name only, enduring the contempt and humiliation, suffering greatly.
In this year, Su Lingxue had many secret meetings with Shen Feng, and their secret affair was well-known to everyone.
As for Fang Shuotian, the visible son-in-law, he had never even touched Su Lingxue's hand.
In the eyes of others, Fang Shuotian was a freeloader, a useless son-in-law of the Su family.
However, he had a mysterious identity unknown to others - the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Seventh Army, with the title of the Seven-Star Warlord!
But even he himself didn't know about it.
Because he... had amnesia!
A year ago, when the front-line situation stabilized, Fang Shuotian decided to take this opportunity to return home and visit his elderly mother.
It was unknown who leaked his whereabouts, which led to him being attacked by unknown individuals on the way.
In that battle, he faced attacks from multiple forces alone.
The most fatal blow was that he was drugged in advance.
Even so, he still fought his way out and escaped.
But his head suffered a heavy blow, causing him to lose all his memories of the war, and he reverted back to the insecure and cowardly man he was before joining the army.
This was the cause of his year of humiliation.
However, his memories were slowly recovering, and the Seven-Star Warlord who made the world tremble would eventually return!

Chapter 2 — : Repaying Debts with One's Body

After picking up the scattered banknotes on the ground, Fang Shuotian held them in his hand and sighed heavily, "At least I have some money now. What's the point of dignity if it's not worth a few bucks?"
He then hurried to the Lijiang Hospital.
Fang Shuotian's mother, Chen Meiyun, suddenly fell seriously ill and was receiving treatment here.
First, Fang Shuotian went to the payment counter at the hospital to settle the overdue hospitalization fees and the subsequent treatment costs. Then, he went to the ward where his mother was staying.
Inside the ward, a beautiful young girl was patiently feeding Chen Meiyun porridge.
The girl's name was Chen Yueqing, a child adopted by Chen Meiyun. She grew up with Fang Shuotian since childhood, and they referred to each other as brother and sister.
When Fang Shuotian entered, Chen Yueqing smiled and said, "Shuotian, you're here!"
Fang Shuotian nodded.
Chen Meiyun, lying on the hospital bed, had a pale complexion and weakly said, "Shuotian, I've been staying here for several days. It's not necessary to waste this money. You're out there all day, working hard to earn money."
Hearing this, Fang Shuotian felt a twist in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He hated himself for not having any skills, for not being able to provide a good life for his mother. Even when she fell seriously ill and needed hospitalization, he couldn't come up with the money to save her.
Fang Shuotian sat down, held his mother's hand, and forced a smile, "Mom, don't worry, I still have some savings. We must get you treated and leave the hospital."
Chen Meiyun sighed, "Ah! I'm old and useless. I'm just a burden to you."
"Mom, don't say that. It's the son's fault, the son's incompetence."
The mother and son looked at each other, their eyes filled with sadness and tears.
Chen Yueqing, who was standing aside, also had tears in her eyes.
This family was truly going through tough times.
After feeding the porridge, Chen Yueqing took Fang Shuotian and walked out of the ward.
The two sat on the chairs in the corridor.
Chen Yueqing asked, "Brother, did you go to Su Lingxue to borrow money?"
Fang Shuotian nodded without denying it.
"She treated you like that, and you still went to her."
Chen Yueqing felt extremely distressed. She knew what her brother had endured in the Su family over the past year, and she could guess the kind of humiliation he would face after borrowing this money.
Fang Shuotian touched Chen Yueqing's head and smiled bitterly, "It's not a big deal. It's more important to save Mom's life than anything else."
Chen Yueqing looked at her brother with teary eyes, "Brother, I don't want to go to college anymore."
Fang Shuotian suddenly became angry, "What are you saying? You only have one more year to graduate. How can you just give up on studying?"
Chen Yueqing sobbed, "Mom is seriously ill now, and we urgently need money. Mom has raised me, and I'm already content. I don't dare to ask for more."
Tears welled up in Fang Shuotian's eyes as well. The more sensible his sister became, the more his heart ached.
Even heroes and brave men are helpless when it comes to money!
He covered his eyes with his hands, rubbing them continuously, not wanting his sister to see his vulnerable side.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money. Just focus on your studies."
Chen Yueqing nodded tearfully.
The two fell silent for a moment, and then Chen Yueqing suddenly asked, "Brother, I've always been curious, where did you go during those five years when you disappeared?"
Fang Shuotian put his hands on his forehead and shook his head, "I can't remember. My memory of those years is blank. When I came back, I didn't even know you had already graduated from high school. In my memory, you were still in middle school. I've forgotten where I went and what I did during those five years."
Due to a severe head injury, he lost about five or six years of memories.
While the siblings were talking, five or six men in black suits approached.
"Boss Fang, here you are?"
The leader, a man with a face full of flesh, smirked.
This man was called Wang Hu, a thug from a loan shark company.
Chen Meiyun suffered from chronic coronary heart disease and needed medication every day to suppress the condition.
The medicine was not cheap, and the expenses were like flowing water.
To ensure his mother's medication supply, Fang Shuotian worked three jobs simultaneously and even took on some part-time work every night.
But even so, there were times when he couldn't come up with the money to buy the medicine.
In case of emergencies, Fang Shuotian borrowed some money from a high-interest loan.
At this moment, Wang Hu came to collect the debt.
As soon as he saw Wang Hu, Fang Shuotian quickly stood up, took out a cigarette, and handed it over, smiling apologetically, "Brother Hu, let's talk outside. This is a hospital, not a suitable place."
Wang Hu slapped the cigarette out of his hand with a single slap and sneered, "No! Miss Yueqing is here. It's appropriate to talk here!"
Fang Shuotian still forced a smile, "She's still a student. There's no need for her to know everything. Let's go outside and talk, okay?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Wang Hu pushed Fang Shuotian away and then walked up to Chen Yueqing, smiling obscenely, "Miss Chen, maybe you don't know, but your brother borrowed twenty thousand yuan from our company before. Now, with the accumulated interest, he needs to repay a total of three hundred and fifty thousand yuan."
Chen Yueqing angrily said, "Why did the interest on twenty thousand yuan accumulate to over three hundred thousand? This is usury, and it's illegal!"
Wang Hu burst into laughter, "Whether it's legal or not, I don't know. All I know is that repaying debts is only right and proper!"
Fang Shuotian put his hand on Wang Hu's shoulder and pulled it gently, "Brother Hu, it's no use telling her. Let's go outside and talk."
Wang Hu glared at Fang Shuotian, "Touch me again, and I'll fucking teach you a lesson."
Fang Shuotian quickly let go, nodded and bowed, apologizing, "Sorry, sorry."
Wang Hu patted his shoulder, as if patting away the dirty dust, "You know what, telling Miss Chen about this actually works."
Then he turned to Chen Yueqing, revealing that lewd smile.
"Miss Chen, here's the thing. Our boss has admired you for a long time, so he hopes to have a meal with you. After the meal, he naturally hopes to spend a good night with you. If Miss Chen is willing, our boss will not only consider waiving all of Fang Shuotian's debts but also offer a gift of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan."
The other party wanted Chen Yueqing to repay the debt with her body!

Chapter 3 — : Remnants of Memory

Chen Yueqing, inexperienced in the ways of the world, blushed immediately upon hearing these words, unsure of how to respond.
Although Fang Shuotian, who had lost his memory, was weak and powerless, his younger sister Chen Yueqing and his mother were always the thorns in his heart, and no one could touch them.
Upon hearing these vulgar words, Fang Shuotian became furious and punched Wang Hu in the jaw.
"You fucking bastard, are you looking to die?"
Wang Hu touched his chin and gritted his teeth, "Am I looking to die? I think it's you who's looking to die."
"Come at me!"
With a wave of his hand, several thugs rushed forward.
Although Fang Shuotian was over 1.8 meters tall and had a strong build, he couldn't withstand the overwhelming number of opponents and was quickly surrounded and beaten to the ground.
Fists rained down on him like a storm, causing Fang Shuotian to scream in pain.
Seeing this, Wang Hu laughed, "Trash is trash, despite being so big."
Chen Yueqing, heartbroken, shed tears and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, "Stop fighting!"
The thugs were still in a rage and threw a punch, knocking Chen Yueqing to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Fang Shuotian, lying on the ground, was filled with anger, and fragments of his memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Da Xia martial arts, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu...
Various combat techniques appeared in his mind, as if they were skills he was born with.
"Ah..."
With a roar, Fang Shuotian swept his leg, knocking all the thugs to the ground, then exerted force with his waist and abdomen, propelling himself into the air and standing up.
The thugs were shocked and quickly got up.
Wang Hu said viciously, "You dare to fight back? Bring it on!"
He immediately signaled his men to continue attacking.
But Fang Shuotian moved like a different person, dodging and evading all the attacks with great agility, while throwing punches one after another.
His fists were like bullets, hitting the opponents' abdomen and instantly causing them to roll their eyes and fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Hu was shocked.
In his impression, Fang Shuotian was just a useless freeloader.
Although he looked imposing and tall, he was a cowardly and fearful person, and couldn't possibly possess such proficient combat skills.
As his men fell one by one, Wang Hu didn't dare to rush forward and could only stand there dumbfounded.
After Fang Shuotian finished dealing with Wang Hu's men, he stared at Wang Hu with anger, clenched his fists, and slowly walked towards him.
From his eyes, Wang Hu saw a murderous intent.
Having been in the underworld for many years, Wang Hu had only seen such murderous intent in the eyes of top assassins.
The murderous intent in Fang Shuotian's eyes surpassed even those assassins.
That kind of murderous intent could only be released by someone who had experienced countless battles and contained a terrifying aura of fear like an abyss.
Wang Hu trembled, his legs uncontrollably shaking, "Fang Shuotian, don't do anything rash."
"What are you doing? This is a hospital!"
A nurse led a group of security guards rushing over and loudly stopped Fang Shuotian.
Wang Hu's men took the opportunity to get up and run away.
Wang Hu followed suit, and as he passed by Fang Shuotian, he said viciously, "Fang, I didn't expect you to have some skills. I'll let you off this time, but you won't be so lucky next time. I also want to remind you to take care of your precious sister. If you can't pay back the money, don't blame us for not being honorable."
Fang Shuotian glared at him, and a burst of murderous intent erupted like a volcanic eruption.
This truly frightened Wang Hu, who quickly fled.
Chen Yueqing ran to her brother's side and asked with concern, "Brother, are you okay?"
Fang Shuotian shook his head with a blank expression.
He had no idea why he suddenly burst out with such immense power, nor did he understand how he had become so proficient in these combat techniques.
Could it be related to the five years he had gone missing?
"Ah..."
Just as he pondered the answers to these questions, his head suddenly felt as if it was being torn apart, causing him excruciating pain.
"Brother! Brother!"
Accompanied by Chen Yueqing's cries, Fang Shuotian clutched his head in agony and fainted.
...
When Fang Shuotian woke up in his old apartment, it was already evening.
There was a note on the bedside table.
He picked it up and read, "Brother, I made some dumplings for you, they're in the fridge. Remember to eat when you wake up."
Looking at the note left by Chen Yueqing, he suddenly felt a warm flow in his heart.
In Linqing City, everyone looked down on him and made fun of him, but only his sister and mother showed him care and love.
These two women were the ones he could never let down no matter what.
He got out of bed, stretched his muscles and bones, and found that the injuries caused by the beating had inexplicably healed.
He didn't think too much about it because there were still many troublesome matters to deal with at the moment.
He knew that if he couldn't repay the high-interest loan in time, the amount would only increase, eventually becoming an astronomical figure that he could never repay in his lifetime.
By then, not only would his life be in danger, but his sister might also be implicated.
Therefore, he had to quickly come up with the 350,000 yuan.
Fang Shuotian sat in front of the coffee table, constantly thinking about how to deal with the high-interest loan. Unknowingly, the ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts like a small hill.
At this moment, he felt as if he had reached a dead end in life.
He punched his chest repeatedly, cursing himself, "Fang Shuotian, you're truly a useless piece of shit!"
After much thought, Fang Shuotian could only think of seeking help from one person.
That person was his wife, Su Lingxue, who regarded him as insignificant. But due to some special reasons, she would still give him some money.
At this moment, he could only continue to sacrifice his dignity in exchange for life-saving money.
After learning that Su Lingxue was attending an upscale party tonight, Fang Shuotian rode his electric bike towards the venue, Guanshan Grand Hotel, after some inquiries.
