Reborn on the eve of tragedy, Lu Changyuan packs his things and flees the Tianji Pavilion in the dead of night.
In his previous life, his master and brothers died because of him. This time, he has made up his mind:
avenge them alone, and never drag anyone else into it.
He heads straight for Jiangling, engineers a chance encounter with young warlord Huo Tingyun, and smoothly lands a post as his adjutant.
With all his hard-won experience at his disposal, he secretly sets a deadly trap, waiting for the future warlord Yan Xiaolin to walk into it. He plans to completely fool the man, then kill him.
But for all his careful planning, he overlooks two things:
his master, Yan Hongyi, and his brother, Shen Jingfeng, have also been reborn!
When they discover he's vanished without a trace, the two set off without a word, swords in hand, scouring the land to track him down.
Lu Changyuan has no choice but to go on government-funded trips with his cold-faced colleague Gu Hanzhou, pretending to be a father everywhere they go and taking advantage of every opportunity,
while hiding from place to place, terrified that his old friends will catch him and break his legs.
Until the Canglan River ruins open, and three factions collide with a thunderous crash.
The moment all his secret identities are exposed, the wheels of fate begin turning once more.
Ship the CP however you like, everyone.
