On the Xuanwu Continent, in the Canglan Domain, everyone has revered martial strength for three thousand years. In the Body Tempering Realm, one can split rocks and snap trees; in the Qi Gathering Realm, one can walk through the air; and in the Meridian Condensation Realm, one can command the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Yet the legendary Reverse Martial Realm exists only in fragments of ancient texts. Those born with a Reverse Martial Meridian have martial essence flowing backward through their meridians, clashing with itself. At best, their meridians are severed; at worst, their bodies explode. It has always been considered a dead end for cultivation.
Chu Chen, a modern history graduate student, transmigrates into the body of a collateral branch member of the Chu family in the Canglan Domain. As luck would have it, he inherits a body born with a Reverse Martial Meridian. The original owner had forced himself to cultivate in a bid to break through, only to die when his meridians ruptured. All Chu Chen is left with is a dilapidated courtyard, mocking clansmen, and a final deadline: he will be expelled from the family in three days.
