Zhao Hao died on an ordinary dusk. His electric scooter toppled over, his delivery box hit the ground, and the idle game on his phone kept running on autopilot. When he opened his eyes again, he was a hunter in a completely unfamiliar world, a place with martial arts, dynasties, and vicious beasts that devoured humans, then possessed their bodies.
He had no memories and no one to rely on. At any moment, he could be executed as a vicious beast for having "no memories." His only trump card was the idle cultivation game that had transmigrated with his soul. While others trained themselves to exhaustion, he could gain cultivation just by lying around. The only catch was that the "pay to win" button kept glowing, so he had to find something he could use to top up in this world.
From new recruit to commander of the Imperial Guards, from the village entrance to the imperial court, Zhao Hao uses a modern man's mindset to charge headlong through another world, while shedding his mild-mannered nature in the fires of battle and becoming decisive and ruthless. He meets Yun Shu, a doctor who saves lives without being a self-sacrificing saint; brothers who would entrust their lives to him; and the Cui family, which has dominated the imperial court for three hundred years and sustained itself by eating people.
Then, at the bottom of Ghost Wailing Valley, he finds another bronze token. The character "soul" is carved into it, along with a message left by a transmigrator from three hundred years ago: "To whoever comes after me, my name is Shen Yuan. The Cui clan aren't human. Don't trust them."
Zhao Hao grips the hilt of his blade and looks up toward the imperial court and Jiangnan. He will strike this blow for Shen Yuan. But deep in a fissure at the bottom of the valley, something even more ancient is waiting for him...
After the iron and blood, can a light and a road take root?
