From the Start, I Ran Over My Ex-Girlfriend

If people are born with sin, then Chu Ping’s original sin is his peerless good looks. His father was discovered by a talent scout in his youth because of his handsome appearance and went into acting, but powerful people grew jealous and secretly poisoned him to death. Chu Ping always minded his own business and wanted nothing more than a quiet life. But because of his striking looks, his workplace selected him to attend a meeting at the municipal bureau, only for the newly appointed leader to turn out to be his ex-girlfriend. She humiliated him in front of everyone, and all the pent-up indignity drove Chu Ping to lose control. On a rainy night, he ran her over with his car, landed in prison, and waited for his death sentence.

At the end of his rope, an old friend of his grandfather’s intervened to save him and sent him deep into the Kunlun Mountains to train in seclusion for three years. Despite the harsh ordeal, Chu Ping had only ordinary aptitude and performed unremarkably. When Bureau 749 was recruiting talent, its director, obsessed with good looks, overruled all objections and made an exception to hire him. The sole reason was Chu Ping’s handsome face.

After entering this secret department of the supernatural world, Chu Ping began an unusual career with a secure government job. On his first field assignment, patrolling the black market, he ran into a Foundation Establishment cultivator whose pressure was terrifying. In the city, spirit mediums secretly ran gambling dens using demonic arts. A construction site hid a folk adept born with superhuman strength. Zhang Qiang, who seemed simple and honest at the market, cultivated by slaughtering living creatures and had already reached the Core Formation realm. Beneath the city’s everyday bustle, undercurrents churned, while demons and strange figures hid among ordinary people. Others fought and trained bitterly to make their way, but Chu Ping relied on his naturally handsome looks to cow the forces of darkness and steadily advance through the supernatural world of the city.
