Shen Ye, the greatest assassin of ancient times, was betrayed by his closest friend and died beneath a rain of arrows. When he opened his eyes again, he had become Lin Mo, a useless college student bullied by the entire school.
A ballpoint pen becomes a deadly weapon against pressure points in his hands, while ancient intelligence-gathering techniques make modern criminals tremble. Starting with three streets in the inner city, he uses the mind of an assassin who has lived for a thousand years to carve out his own place in the world. Brothers, rivals, and an archenemy who has lived for a thousand years: this revenge spanning a millennium has only just begun.
Given a second life, he will no longer be the blade that kills. He will be the one wielding it.
