Kai Chen was raised in a forgotten village by a mysterious old master who taught him how to fight, heal, survive, and—above all—protect. When his master sends him into the modern world for one final mission, Kai expects a simple job: protect the children of the wealthy and rapidly rising Monroe family. It is anything but simple. Surrounded by billionaire families, elite schools, ruthless corporations, powerful bodyguards, and enemies hiding behind money and influence, Kai quickly discovers that the world outside his village has its own hierarchy—and the Monroes are becoming powerful enough to threaten it. But Kai has secrets of his own. The strange jade he has worn since childhood, the truth behind his family’s death, and the terrifying power his master taught him to conceal are all connected to a history the world has forgotten. Kai was sent to protect a family. Instead, his mission will drag him into a hidden world of cultivation, ancient legacies, powerful families, and a conspiracy buried for generations. And the deeper Kai goes, the more dangerous one question becomes: Who is Kai Chen really?
