Xie Sheng, a fifth-rank grandmaster, woke up to find himself transmigrated into the body of an unfortunate concubine-born son of the Great Tang Dynasty, with his life hanging by a thread. Before he could figure out what was going on, a band of assassins was already after him.
At death's door, he fell into a river and was rescued by the stunning female head of the Song family, Suzhou's foremost apothecary merchants.
With a life-saving divine pill worth ten thousand gold and a reminder that “you should always have a conscience,” Song Lianyue took in the badly wounded stranger as her personal bodyguard.
She thought she'd picked up a down-and-out martial artist, unaware that he possessed the Celestial Star Compass, an origin immortal artifact that could predict fortune and avert disaster, and that his martial destiny was boundless.
When Black Three Gorges came under attack, he fought eight enemies alone. When demons from the White Dragon Sect ran amok, he slew their half-demon leader with a single stroke. Even when faced with a radiant and spirited princess of the Great Tang, he merely said, “Send the reward to the Song family.”
Only this gentle, captivating beauty of a proprietor would keep whispering in his ear, “Xie Sheng, how much longer are you planning to lounge around in my room?”
