Li Dao is reborn into the Daqian Dynasty as a third-class count. During a palace banquet, he accidentally drunkenly broke into a palace, coinciding with the recovery of his past life memories, so his memory was confused and drunkenly ruined the innocence of the mistress of the palace. In the end, the emperor was furious and sent Li Dao to the death camp in the border, wanting him to die outside the border. As a result, he accidentally awakened the 'Kill the Enemy and Explode Attributes' system. From then on, killing people can become infinitely stronger. Since then, Daqian has less of a playboy count, and more of a human hero who has slaughtered countless people. Dynasties fight for supremacy, rivers and lakes are in strife, foreign races invade, overseas rages, and immortal gates are opened. Step by step, Li Dao hacked out an invincible road that belonged to him alone. Years later, when Li Dao returned to the imperial capital with his great war achievements, he stepped into the imperial palace again and found that the woman whose innocence he had destroyed at the beginning was already sitting on the dragon chair. And next to the dragon chair, there was a young daughter whose eyebrows were similar to his. At this moment, there was only one question left in Li Dao's mind. Is this anti or not?

In the heart of industrial London, amidst the smog-choked streets and towering factories, lies the narrow and notorious Charter Row, a place where the city’s poorest cling to life in tenements that sag under the weight of desperation. It is here, in this squalid corner of the world, that two souls from opposite ends of society become entangled in a tale of mystery, redemption, and the cruel inequalities of Victorian England. Young Evelyn Hargrove, a bright and compassionate orphan raised in a workhouse, has spent her life in the service of others, working as a seamstress in one of London’s many sweatshops. She dreams of a better life, but her path seems hopelessly bound to Charter Row, where each day is a struggle for survival. Yet, beneath her modest exterior, Evelyn possesses a fierce determination to escape her grim fate and seek out the truth about her family, whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. Meanwhile, Alaric Fitzwilliam, the disillusioned son of a wealthy industrialist, grows weary of the opulence and moral decay that pervades high society. Torn between the privileges of his birth and the stirrings of a conscience that refuses to remain silent, Alaric begins to question the very foundations of the world he inhabits. When a chance encounter brings him to Charter Row, he becomes embroiled in the plight of its forgotten inhabitants and discovers an unsettling secret—his own family’s fortune is built upon the misery of those who dwell in the shadows. As Evelyn and Alaric’s lives intertwine, they uncover a sinister plot within London’s elite, where the suffering of the poor is masked by false charity and hidden greed. At the heart of this conspiracy is Lord Davenport, a cruel and calculating man with ties to the powerful Hargrove family—connections that may hold the key to Evelyn’s past. Together, Evelyn and Alaric must navigate the perilous divide between wealth and poverty, risking everything to bring light to the darkness of Charter Row. But in a city where secrets are currency and morality is a luxury few can afford, will their courage be enough to break free from the chains of fate?
