Back for Blood!

Shen Ming built his power overseas, far from the family he left behind, and he only comes home because his grandfather has died suddenly. Two things wait for him there. One is the question of how the old man actually died. The other is an arranged engagement to Wei Nanying of the Wei family, a match his grandfather set up years earlier. The Wei household treats the returning grandson as a poor relation with nothing to his name, and they say so openly at the table. Shen Ming answers the insults with the force he has at his disposal, and the family that mocked him begins losing ground fast. He also finds an ally in Chu Yan of the Chu family, a businesswoman with her own reasons to move against the Weis, and the two of them work together against the interests protecting the household. The digging into his grandfather's death keeps circling back toward the same house he is supposed to marry into. The man who ordered the killing is Wei Donghai, head of the Wei family and the father of the woman he is engaged to. Shen Ming has to decide what the engagement is worth to him now, with the debt for his grandfather still unpaid and the person who owes it sitting across from him at family dinners.
