Synopsis

He was the supreme legend of the underworld, founder of the Dark Blade, and a force to be reckoned with in the global assassin and ancient martial arts worlds. After a lifetime of bloodshed, he used his blade to hold the darkness at bay.

Decades of bloody battles left him with deep-rooted combat trauma and a crippling thirst for blood.

Su Hao, a top-tier assassin who had seen through the fighting and grown tired of killing, shed every accolade and returned to Donghai under an assumed name.

From then on, the world's number-one assassin, "Night Blade," was no more. All that remained was a laid-back young man selling snacks at the night market and waiting around to die.

In public, he wore flip-flops and baggy shorts, took life as it came, and looked like an ordinary man from the streets.

In private, he wielded overwhelming martial prowess and commanded a top-tier power. His records were blank, and no one could investigate him.

Street thugs picked a fight? He shattered their blades with his bare hands and killed them in three seconds.

A wealthy CEO trapped in a desperate situation on a rainy night? He stepped in casually and brought her back from the brink of death.

The underworld queen tested him every which way? She dug deeper and deeper, yet couldn't uncover the slightest trace of his past.

All he'd wanted was to recover from his illness and live out his days in peace.

But the long-buried massacre of the Su family came to light, and the ancient martial arts world discovered his terrifying bloodline inheritance, closing in on him at every turn.

The underworld of Donghai, the power struggles among Beijing's great families, and the currents of foreign powers abroad all converged on the retired assassin.

Eight deep romances and eight women, each with her own distinct personality, slowly warmed his blood-soaked past, teaching a killing machine tenderness and the simple joys of ordinary life.

When the ancient martial arts world preyed on the weak, when foreign powers returned, and when darkness once more covered the world...

Su Hao cast off his indolence and took up his blade again.

This time, he would wield it neither to kill nor to earn a name.

He would wield it to protect the people he loved and keep the homes behind him safe.

Urban Assassin Stories With a Hidden Identity and a Low-Key Daily Life

They can be so high-profile that they look down on everyone while wearing a mask among all sorts of monsters and demons, yet so low-key that they sit at a roadside stall eating skewers and fried noodles while watching a show without revealing their identity. To everyone else, they're just an ordinary person. They wear a mask to save the world. No stories without a female lead.

The plot is very well written, and each chapter has written out technical conflicts, core conflicts, reasoning conflicts, including time and identity conflicts. The end of each chapter is connected to the hook of the next chapter, seamlessly connecting the beginning and the end, without any sloppiness, and has been continuously updated with more than 6,000 words per day from the beginning to the present. The approximate number of words in this book is expected to be more than 2.2 Million words, with 1,000 chapters. As mentioned above, the plot is very consistent, there is no brainless plot, and it will be continuously updated. It will not be a bad movie, and it will not be interrupted. I also hope that all readers will like this book and put forward better opinions based on the plot. The author also believes that I will optimize the text based on your feedback and polish the work more confidently. Thank you readers for listing and reading. I hope readers will support me.

It looks good, the plot is stable and rhythmic, and each chapter has a golden finger for the next chapter. It makes people want to read the next chapter, but each update is simply not enough.
