Li Ping'an transmigrates into a wuxia world and becomes a waiter at the Dragon Gate Inn, where he spends his days eating his fill and waiting to die.
By day, he's the most notorious slacker on the whole street, teasing the proprietress and shirking work at every opportunity. Everyone who sees him shakes their head: That man is a lost cause.
By night, he forms hand seals and flashes across vast distances, leaving no trace. He's the top ace of "Night Rain," the martial world's most feared assassin organization. Codenamed "Faceless," he always draws blood and has never failed a mission.
No one would ever connect that grinning, joking waiter with the Grim Reaper of the night, whose name terrifies the entire martial world.
He thought his life would stay this simple forever: make money, level up, unlock more ninjutsu, and quietly become the greatest under heaven.
Until one day...
The pretty proprietress, whose husband died just after they married, started smiling at him in increasingly dangerous ways;
The icy young lady from the Swordsmith Manor began looking at him rather strangely;
Even the princess of a passing prince's estate started finding all sorts of ways to give him trouble.
Li Ping'an clutched his aching head. "Ladies, love really does slow down my hand seals!"
But before he could untangle this romantic mess, an even bigger problem arrived...
The assassin organization rebelled, and his identity was exposed to the world.
Overnight, everyone under heaven learned the truth: that useless waiter was the number one assassin, "Faceless."
Wanted posters flooded the land. The three beauties each showed off their own skills, while Li Ping'an wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed a cold smile no one had ever seen before.
"If you won't let me quietly live the life of a corporate drone, then don't blame me for turning this martial world... upside down."
