A Thousand Years of Living Up to My Wild Reputation

He Qing was naturally carefree and unconstrained by etiquette.

He could climb onto roofs and tear off tiles, and he was more than capable of getting into fights. He could also stir up trouble and scam people, and was an expert at every kind of swindle.

Ever since he arrived at Cangming Sect, the whole place had been in uproar, lively and chaotic.

He Qing was naturally free-spirited and wild.

At the banquet of the Ten Thousand Sects, a friend discussed the beauties of the world with him. He only laughed and said, "So what if she's an unparalleled beauty? Can she compare to my sword?"

Everyone laughed at his arrogance.

At the sect competition, his sleeves fluttered as he stepped onto the stage on a cloud, pointing his sword at the crowd. "Today, I will take on a hundred men alone and lead Cangming Sect back to the number-one spot."

Everyone laughed at his conceit.

During an expedition beyond the border, surrounded by countless demons, he drew his sword and stepped forward. "Don't be afraid. I can take on a thousand demons alone. I hope my senior brothers and sisters will lend me a hand."

Everyone laughed at his hubris.

He Qing was naturally brazen and fearless.

When he made some outrageous boast, people mocked and sneered at him, calling him the "Arrogant Sword."

He only smiled freely. "Arrogant? I like that name."

Later, he defeated the ten thousand sects, slew countless demons, and stood against the Demon Lord...

Step by step, he lived up to his reputation for being "arrogant."

No one mocked him for being arrogant anymore. Instead, "Arrogant Sword" became a title of honor.

There was no one in the world who had not heard of the Arrogant Sword.

Others would do anything to avoid a reputation for arrogance, but he embraced his.

Later, someone asked what he thought of the name.

His tone was casual, but his words were unabashedly cocky. "If I won't live up to this reputation, who will?"

For thousands of years after that, no one dared fail to live up to the name.

"A crane above the clouds, carefree and unconstrained; an immortal in a painting, bold and unrestrained."

No romance, male lead, wish-fulfillment story.

The male lead is arrogant, extremely so. If that's not for you, stop reading.
