Wang Wenyuan was once an obscure member of the imperial clan after its reforms, and in his previous life he died an unjust death. Reborn with his memories intact, he is determined to exact revenge and tear down the rotten system. But the trusted aides, lover, and family faction who betrayed him in his previous life sense the threat he poses and move to kill him again. Though Wang Wenyuan has a proficiency panel that lets him improve his martial arts, he starts out weak and is constrained by the imperial clan’s rules of succession. Torn between swift revenge and upholding justice, he must also weather a crisis of trust caused by his enemies’ lies while facing their accelerated schemes to assassinate him. Along the way, he steadily grows stronger and gathers talented fighters burdened by regrets. He ultimately succeeds in taking his revenge, but victory tastes bitter, and he loses some of his most innocent feelings.
