System Awakens! The City's Strongest Cultivator

On a rainy night, the air reeks of blood. Nangong Yu suddenly opens his eyes in the bed of a shabby rental room. The bullet that betrayed him in his previous life seems to explode in his chest all over again, and the words “You trusted us too much” haunt him like a ghost. Reborn in the body of an ordinary young man who was bullied and oppressed, he is no longer a lamb led to slaughter. He is a avenger with a blade in hand.

Once a top-tier assassin, Nangong Yu is cold and shrewd. Now, a cultivation System awakens in his mind, showering him with rewards as his strength skyrockets. But Lin Aofeng, the young master of the Lin family, sees him as a thorn in his side. One trap and conspiracy after another comes his way, as Lin Aofeng vows to snuff him out. In this dark urban jungle, only his senior sister, Ye Qingxue, is like a warm ray of moonlight, gentle yet steadfast, lighting the path ahead.

From an ant struggling to survive in the shadows of the city, to a formidable fighter whose edge has awakened and who repays blood with blood, to a cultivator forced to make difficult choices between power and loyalty, Nangong Yu's every step is fraught with danger. Beneath his sharp brows and bright eyes lies a heart that will never yield. When the world tries once again to grind him into the dirt, he chooses to defy heaven and rise from the flames, reborn.

When a second life is granted to him, how will he choose between revenge, protecting others, and redeeming himself?
