Name: A Middle-Aged Sword Saint Reincarnates as a Vile Lord
Author: Zhen Xiaoyue

Synopsis

[Western Fantasy + Multiple Heroines + Swords and Magic + Noble Lord + But with Mechs and Warships]

In his previous life, he was a heretical Sword Saint consumed by flames. In this life, he has become a tyrannical lord despised by all.

As he toured his domain, the dilapidated towns were deathly silent, and frightened eyes watched from behind every door and window.

His people, whose blood and tears he had drained in the past, now avoided even his shadow as if he were a venomous snake.

More ironically still, the laws of this world had been turned upside down: steel mechs had crushed the familiar clash of blades, while the shadows of floating warships loomed over the decaying monarchy.

Yet the shackles of the “vile lord” still gripped his neck;

The royal family looked down on him as young and incompetent, tearing up his engagement in public;

Pirates trampled his lands and mocked him as the “Cowardly Duke”;

He brushed the mottled old sword at his waist and smiled.

“Your era is sick... and I'm the cure for anyone who refuses to accept it.”

You think your warships are indestructible? My sword cuts down the arrogance of an era!

You think your mechs can rule the world? My sword shatters the falsehood of technology!

In this era you revere as the truth, my sword is the answer!

I'll give your words back to you: the times have changed!
