Everyone says Wang Lin is unmatched in his scheming, but they don’t know that I, Li Mubai, am the true player behind the scenes.
I pretend to be an ordinary disciple with little cultivation, letting my fellow disciples mock and bully me every day, all so I can nurture the ancient sword embryo in my dantian.
Su Wan, the peerless beauty and gentle daughter of the righteous sect’s leader, inexplicably takes a liking to me, the “good-for-nothing,” driving the genius senior brother into a jealous rage.

I defeat him with a single move, my swordlight illuminating his terrified face. “The moment you provoked Wan’er, you were already a dead man.”
But just as I shatter the heavens and prepare to ascend with the woman I love, Su Wan runs her sword through my dantian, still smiling gently. “Li Mubai, you schemed against the whole world, but did you see this day coming?”
The ancient sword embryo shatters, and what pours out is...
