Ye Chen, a young master of modern ancient martial arts, is ambushed by his cousin. When he opens his eyes, he has transmigrated into another world and become Lin Xuan, a good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Lin family in Tianfeng City. The original Lin Xuan had just been poisoned to death in a brothel and was also blamed for harassing a noblewoman. A crowd jeers and curses him from the front, while enemies come seeking revenge with blades from behind. To make matters worse, his fiancée, Su Yueqing, the heiress of a top clan, arrives with a letter breaking off their engagement, her eyes full of disgust.
In this desperate situation, Ye Chen draws on his previous life's mastery of ancient martial arts and his cool-headedness to turn the tables, stunning everyone present! After returning to the Lin family, he uses decisive methods to set the household in order, concocts Marrow-Cleansing Pills to rebuild his good-for-nothing body, and advances through the Qi Condensation realm in a single day. When faced with the broken engagement, he calmly proposes a three-month wager, vowing to make Su Yueqing see him in a new light at the capital's tournament.
From revealing his prowess during the chaos at the brothel, to making a name for himself across the four kingdoms through alchemy and forging, to ascending with beautiful companions to the Spirit Realm to search for his family, Ye Chen plays the pig to eat the tiger, slays enemies above his level, unites the forces of the Star Pavilion, and storms the Moon God Palace to save his mother. When the shadow of his modern-day cousin follows him into this other world, and conflict among the myriad races sweeps across the Spirit Realm, he proves his path through peerless martial achievements, protects his family and country, gathers friends and loved ones, and ultimately establishes a new order at the pinnacle of martial arts!
Lin Xuan's step-by-step growth is very inspiring
