Xie Heng transmigrates.
The good news is that he was born into a top-tier family, is handsome, and is the most celebrated beauty in the capital.
The bad news is that his meridians are blocked, he hasn't reached the first rank in ten years, and he's a useless playboy who spends his days in brothels, cockfighting, and dog racing.
After his father is stripped of his military command and banished to a border province, his family forces him out and sends him to marry into Tianyan Sword Sect, where he is to wed a former Saintess whose cultivation has been destroyed by a deadly poison.
One is a castoff of a noble family; the other, an outcast of a sect.
Everyone is waiting to laugh at this pair of good-for-nothings.
Then Xie Heng discovers that the world's martial arts hold no secrets from him.
He can master a saber technique that others spend ten years practicing with a single glance. He can reproduce a sect's secret art after watching it once. Even a divine skill that has been incomplete for centuries is no match for him: he can repair its flaws and work out an even stronger realm.
On their wedding night, Ning Qinghuang watches Xie Heng perform the Phoenix Cry Sword Technique she has painstakingly practiced for twenty years, and for the first time, she loses her composure.
“Where did you learn this sword technique?”
Xie Heng sets down his sword and casually picks up the last wedding pastry on the table.
“I just watched you use it.”
“By the way, has the food at your sword sect always been this bad?”
From then on, the jade-faced husband who only wants to laze around and tease his wife masters every martial art under heaven while trampling noble families, crushing sects, and defying imperial power.
By the time the world comes to its senses, he has already taken a beauty by his side, mastered ten thousand arts, and reached the pinnacle of the realm.
