This's a captivating novel that follows the life of Leo Bloomer, a man who endures years of hardship and humiliation before undergoing a remarkable transformation.
Leo's troubles began at a young age when his parents disappeared, and he was raised by his grandmother. After graduating from university, his grandmother fell ill with advanced gastric cancer. Desperate to save her, Leo borrowed money, crowdfunded, and even begged on the streets. Eventually, a wealthy couple, the Henleys, provided the funds for his grandmother's treatment on the condition that he marry their eldest daughter, Sophia. However, Leo soon discovered that he was merely a tool in the Henley family, used to bring good luck to Sophia, who had a mysterious illness. After his grandmother's passing, Leo's life took a turn for the worse. He was mistreated and humiliated by the Henley family, and on a stormy night, he even contemplated suicide. But then, an old man offered him a chance to change his fate, injecting him with a strange liquid that rendered him mute for three years.
For the next three years, Leo endured extreme pain as he was injected with the blue liquid annually. However, he also noticed that his body was changing, and he seemed to be developing strange abilities. On the night that marked the end of the three - year period, Leo finally regained his ability to speak and discovered that he had a mysterious energy within him, along with new knowledge, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine.
Just as Leo was experiencing this transformation, Sophia's cosmetics company faced a major crisis. A woman named Venus Toby claimed that her face had been ruined by Sophia's company's cosmetic products and demanded a huge compensation. Leo stepped forward and offered to treat Venus's acne. Despite the doubts and mockery of others, Leo used his new - found abilities and knowledge to create a medicinal paste that miraculously cured Venus's acne. Impressed by his skills, Venus asked Leo to treat her sick father, who was in the hospital. At the hospital, Leo initially faced rejection from Harry Toby, Venus's brother, and the doctors. But when the old man's condition suddenly worsened, Leo ignored the objections and saved him with his acupuncture skills. This not only earned him the gratitude of the Toby family but also a promise of a large reward.
After saving the old man, Leo's life continued to change. He accompanied Sophia to Antique Street, where they encountered a stone - gambling event. Julie Jefferson, Sophia's college classmate, taunted Leo. However, Leo's special ability allowed him to accurately identify a valuable raw jade stone. His gamble paid off, and he cut out an excellent piece of apple - green jade. This caught the attention of an old man who invited him to work at Wilde Jewelry Company. Leo's encounter with the old man didn't end there; when the old man fainted on the street, Leo used his acupuncture skills to save him.
Back at the Henley family, Leo's new - found abilities were met with a mix of shock, disbelief, and jealousy. Martin, Sophia's father, demanded that Leo and Sophia have a child, threatening divorce if they didn't. Meanwhile, Leo received an interview invitation from Wilde Jewelry Company. At the interview, Coral Wilde, the CEO, was skeptical of Leo's claim of a high winning rate in stone - gambling. Leo then proposed a bet of 30 million dollars to prove himself.
In addition to these events, Leo was constantly exploring his new abilities, such as sensing and cultivating spiritual energy. His life was further complicated by the various social situations he faced, like dealing with the taunts of the Henley family's relatives at a family gathering. Through it all, Leo was determined to use his new - found powers to change his life, break free from the Henley family's control, and start anew.
