When a priceless Warring States silk manuscript is found hidden in a delivery box and a video of him saving a life with silver needles tops the trending charts, the former fingerless wreck mocked by Jiangcheng’s wealthy families is breaking the internet’s tipping records with his treasure-appraisal livestreams.
Five years ago, he lost a finger protecting his younger sister and fled. Five years later, he returns bearing the Northern Realm Underworld King’s command token. At an auction, the fiancée who once tore up their engagement humiliates him: “I’d rather give the Blood Ganoderma to a dog than use it to treat your sister’s leukemia!” Little does she know that the Ghost Valley Golden Needles in his hand have already pierced the throats of assassins from the Shadow Alliance.
A bronze sword he picked up for a bargain at an antiques market turns out to contain the final piece of the Imperial Jade Seal. A wealthy man with ALS whom he casually treats leads him to a Qin family massacre from twenty years ago. When the Kunlun secret realm opens before the bloodied Black Bird tattoo on his body, the world’s hidden powers finally realize that this deliveryman, who brings cancer medicine to his younger sister every day, has long held the power over life and death.
