[At eighteen, your family is about to be destroyed. Your parents will die at the hands of the Qingcheng Sect, and you will suffer endless humiliation. Your only hope is the Lin family's secret manual, the Evil-Resisting Swordplay.]
[Reversal System activated. Host, raise your blade and practice the Evil-Resisting Swordplay. Reward: Mastery of the sword art and revenge.]
[Mission failed: The Lin family is wiped out, and the Host will face a lifetime of misery.]
Lin Erzhi looked at the System panel, then down at his crotch, breaking into a cold sweat.

He becomes a disciple of Mount Hua, battles Yue Buqun, learns the Evil-Resisting Swordplay, and rises to the pinnacle of the martial world. Dongfang Bubai, Yue Lingshan, Ren Yingying, Lan Fenghuang... some fall quietly in love, while others become bitter rivals.
The martial world gains a new sword-sect master: Lin Pingzhi, who never spares a life beneath his blade, stands unrivaled and dominates one region!
Lin Pingzhi puts away his bloodstained sword, his expression calm.
“Ever since the day the System told me to castrate myself, my life has been different from yours...”
[The System issues a new mission: Kill Yue Lingshan and sever all emotional ties once and for all. Reward: Mount Hua Sword Sect secret technique and mastery of the Qi Sect's swordplay.]
