Synopsis
Song Haotian is an elderly man suffering from dementia who is discarded by his family and mistreated by his adopted daughter to fuel her own rise to fame. However, his perceived helplessness is a facade, as he is actually a figure of immense influence and power with connections spanning martial arts clans and global commerce. This novel reads like a classic hidden expert urban fantasy, leaning heavily into the face-slapping tropes common in power-fantasy webnovels. It is perfect for readers who crave immediate catharsis and the satisfaction of seeing arrogant antagonists humbled by a secret master. Conversely, those seeking a grounded drama or a nuanced character study should skip this title. The pacing is brisk, driving quickly toward a series of high-impact reveals that redefine the protagonist's role in society. Its standout quality is the stark contrast between the protagonist's fragile outward appearance and the overwhelming authority he wields behind the scenes.

Editorial Review
As a completed work of 375 chapters, this novel offers a satisfying, closed-loop experience without the frustration of cliffhangers or abandoned plotlines. Its primary strength lies in its execution of the hidden master trope; the buildup of tension through the protagonist's mistreatment makes the eventual reveal of his true identity highly rewarding. However, the story suffers from a reliance on formulaic conflict. The antagonists, particularly the adopted daughter and the cyberbullies, are written as caricatures of malice to maximize the impact of the face-slapping sequences, which can make the narrative feel predictable. While the blend of slice-of-life elements and urban fantasy is handled efficiently, it lacks the depth seen in more ambitious genre-bending works. It is a competent execution of a popular niche, providing exactly what its target audience wants without attempting to reinvent the wheel.
