The Son-in-Law in Rough Clothes

The story of The Hemp-Robed Son-in-Law follows Jiang Ke, heir to the Hemp-Robed Sect, who bears the burden of carrying on its legacy and fulfilling its mission. In the Sect's struggle against the Shadow Pavilion, he faces one perilous ordeal after another: from the shifting tides at the Alliance headquarters, to the decisive battle at Blackwind Stronghold, and the blood-mist crisis in a bizarre village. Along the way, Jiang Ke fights side by side with his grandfather Jiang Feng and companions Lin Yue, Zhao Hu, and others. Using the Hemp-Robed Sect's art of physiognomy, talismans, and other secret arts, they foil the Shadow Pavilion's schemes one by one, destroying the “Mother-and-Child Gu,” breaking the “Banner of Ten Thousand Souls,” and purifying blood fiends. As they infiltrate enemy territory and investigate the strange village, they uncover the Shadow Pavilion's secrets, including its collection of children's souls and its plan to resurrect an ancient Corpse King. They also discover the ties between the Shadow Pavilion and the Hemp-Robed Sect, along with hidden family secrets. As the investigation deepens, Jiang Ke grows stronger and unites forces from every side. In the final showdown with the Shadow Pavilion, he plays a pivotal role, safeguarding peace throughout the land and ensuring the Hemp-Robed Sect's legacy endures. The story depicts a fierce clash between good and evil, as well as the protagonist's growth and steadfast resolve in the face of responsibility and challenges. With the Twelve Fate Artifacts appearing and the Gate of Reincarnation opening, Jiang Ke must face the hidden hand manipulating time and space: his “future self,” who intends to rewrite fate. Through the nine trials of the Soul Refining Tower, he reverses cause and effect with a divination that defies heaven and changes fate. In the final battle at the Kunlun Ruins, he rallies the world's practitioners of the mystic arts against an ancient evil god. This is a life-and-death game spanning time and space, a path to defy heaven where fate itself is read in the trigrams. Wielding the Hemp-Robed Sect's secret scrolls, Jiang Ke breaks through one supernatural instance after another, solving each puzzle and unraveling every mystery. In the end, he will tear apart the curse that has loomed for twenty years and, as a ghostly son-in-law, write his own legendary tale of the mystic arts!
