The protagonist, Ye Hao, is the reincarnation of a legendary Sword God. In this life, he is the son of the master of the Yijian Sect, but his meridians are severed, leaving him unable to cultivate and earning him constant ridicule. After being reborn, he finds that the Xingyue Sect has sent a disciple to marry into the Yijian Sect.
However, the visitor is Chen Rong'er. With her own strength, she takes on the entire younger generation of the Yijian Sect, and not one of them is her match.
The Yijian Sect is humiliated as a result. Ren Junyi is ordered to step forward in their time of crisis, taking the sect's treasured Haoxing Spirit Sword to duel her. To everyone's dismay, Chen Rong'er defeats him in three moves, leaving the sect with no face to show.
Just then, Ye Hao steps forward. Since the rules forbid the use of true energy, they can only compete with swordsmanship...
The preface is wrong and the postscript is messed up.
