   The martial arts world varies across different genres. Some are like the world of Huang Yi and Gu Long, others are like the world of Jin Yong where Emperor Duan is reincarnated as the protagonist of The Return of the Condor Heroes. Some are like the street-smart martial arts world where characters navigate the underworld and rely on cheating techniques. And still others are like the urban martial arts world where characters with a system in their backs attempt to carve out a niche for themselves in South Korea.

    "Becoming Blind, I Wander the Martial World" In the tenth year of the Tianyuan era, the first belated snow brought a bone-chilling cold, and the roads were almost deserted. In the vast snow-covered landscape, a tattered straw hat, a worn-out vest, and the mournful sound of an erhu like a cold, murmuring spring—"Moon Reflected in the Second Spring"—lingered endlessly. The erhu player, Li Ping'an, was a stranger in this world since the age of ten, his eyes so blind he could barely see beyond three fingers' width. Only his strange old ox, his constant companion since childhood, silently carried a stool beside him. When the piece ended, the system's cold notification illuminated the dim world: [Add 8 hours to lifespan], [Unblock Qi and blood meridians]—the life contained in this erhu was his only reliance. The ox was no ordinary creature either; repeatedly coveted and stolen, it always mysteriously returned to his side, its trials and tribulations as deep and treacherous as a dark river in the night. In this world perceived by his blind eyes, crisis and warmth were both transformed into music. Alone on a snowy night, the biting winds of the martial world never cease to whisper in his ears; the old ox moos gently, yet it conceals countless tales of life-and-death grudges, lost and found. So-called swift retribution and vengeance, in the darkness, are reduced to the low whisper of a single string between his fingers and the echoes of the wind and snow. He cannot see the evil and good of this world, yet he hears them more clearly and understands them more deeply. Alone by the cold river, he strums the strings; the old ox's fate remains shrouded in mystery. [Snow buries grudges, a fatal melody; the erhu plays out the blind path of the martial world!]
