Concealing the Edge in the Abyssal Sea

When he was seven, his father was murdered, and his entire family was condemned.

Was the killer a powerful court official? A martial arts expert? Or... someone closest to him?

At twenty-three, he returned to the imperial capital with a "Moyuan" System.

The System contained a thousand years of wisdom from the Hundred Schools of Thought, and every use came at the cost of his lifespan.

He used it to solve strange cases, execute corrupt officials, and bring the realm under control.

But he had no idea that the System's creator was waiting for him to descend, step by step, into the abyss.

He said he would end the chaos and let the people live in peace and prosperity.

The powerful saw him as a thorn in their side, the martial world saw him as a troublemaker, and enemy nations saw him as their greatest foe.

His brothers betrayed him, his beloved took an arrow for him, and his subordinates gave their lives for him.

Three thousand Ink Armored soldiers, wiped out to the last man in the final battle.

Clutching the body of his wife, who had died in battle, his dark hair turned white overnight.

At last, he united the ten kingdoms.

The new emperor asked what reward he wanted.

He said, "I just want to go home and farm."

Then, with his five wives, he walked into the swirling snow.

Think the story ends here?

No.

Because his most terrifying enemy was never truly dead.

Because the greatest secret still lay buried beneath his mother's gravestone.

Because the war that would begin thirty years after his retirement was his true fate.

Deep as the sea, with the edge hidden within.

A wealth of knowledge, never showing it.
