Amidst a shroud of darkness, a man awakens, consumed by an overwhelming fury, his eyes ablaze with chilling rage. The surge of the Immortal Cultivating Technique courses through his veins, momentarily quelling his murderous intent when he notices a beauty salon emblem on the door. But despair takes hold as memories of a devastating loss flood his mind.

Struggling to face his anguish, he is suddenly confronted by a breathtaking woman—the salon's owner—who enters the room. She attempts to soothe his torment with her seductive allure and comforting presence. Despite his initial emptiness, he is drawn to her touch until a shattering sound interrupts their connection.

Compelled by duty, he confronts the arrogant and affluent suitor of the salon's owner, the catalyst behind the disturbance. The suitor's abusive behavior ignites a fiery wrath within him, leading to a fierce physical clash. Emerging victorious, he sternly warns the arrogant man to stay away, only to be rudely interrupted again by a horde of goons summoned by his adversary.

Outnumbered but undeterred, he prepares for an imminent brawl, only to be stopped by the salon owner. Recognizing the unfavorable odds, she reaches out to an underworld figure for assistance. However, even with reinforcements, the outcome remains uncertain and perilous.

Unable to contain his power any longer, he unleashes a hidden strength that plunges the scene into stunned silence. Little do they know, he is a dormant dragon in disguise. Those who dare test his limits will face unforeseen and ruthless retaliation.
