Phantom of Shanghai: Beginning with Plunder

In 2018, 31-year-old Li Wei faces the darkest moment of his life in Shanghai: he loses his job as a children's physical fitness coach and is heartlessly abandoned by his girlfriend of three years. Just as he is plunged into total despair, he unexpectedly awakens two heaven-defying superpowers—"Invisibility" and "Teleportation." However, before he can even use his abilities to change his fate, his childhood friend Wang Tao from his hometown of Yingshi passes away suddenly from terminal lung cancer. Looking at his late friend's destitute wife, child, and grieving parents, Li Wei undergoes a profound awakening. He realizes that in this dog-eat-dog world, lacking power makes even sorrow a luxury. To protect his friend's family and reshape his own destiny, Li Wei transforms into the "Phantom of Shanghai." He sneaks into luxury mansions, precisely plundering the ill-gotten wealth of the corrupt rich, and crosses oceans to establish an absolute asset haven in a foreign gambling city. Thus begins the urban legend of a dark-night hunter.
