Just a Commoner, So Why Do the Powerful in Yanjing Tremble Before Me?

A young man with extraordinary skills descends the mountain carrying the Bamboo Token to take revenge, only to be bound by its rules:

He must not help anyone surnamed Yan, and he must not set foot on any part of Yanjing before turning forty.

When he first enters the mortal world, he owes the eldest daughter of the Yan family of Yanjing a favor for a ride.

Before he knows it, he is drawn into a deadly, treacherous struggle.

In dire straits, he braves danger to turn the tables, fighting bloody battles and carving a path through every obstacle…

His only obsession is tracing his roots and finding out who his father was.

But the more he investigates, the more alarmed he becomes…

It turns out that a vast web of fate was spun for him twenty years ago.

When the powerful figures who look down upon the world see the transformed Bamboo Token, they are filled with shock and fear.

“This thing? How could… how could it be in your hands?”

As layer upon layer of mist clears and the truth finally comes to light, the young man understands the mystery:

How can a mere commoner command the fear and respect of all Yanjing’s powerful elite?

Not through his father’s legacy, not by relying on seven heaven-defying masters, and not even for the sake of his blood feud…

But solely because of his own extraordinary identity, one that shakes heaven and earth.
