The second son of the great Sect Lang of Southern Liang is assassinated on his way to Nothern Qi.
However...
Unbeknownst to all...
He had not died...
But a soul from another world had transmigrated into his body.
And he had been taken under the wing by the formidable Poison Master.
This is the story of a bastard.
An unfortunate soul who had been sacrificed in a string of conspiracies.
Betrayed by the closest, forsaken by his kins, having his companions slaughtered one after another...
A good-for-nothing bastard who slowly yet steadily rises from the very beginning...
This is the story of an abandoned son, a vengeful soul who defies all the rules set by several generations of great cultivators and sets on a path no other disciple had ever dared before.
And reaches the pinnacle of power.
And somewhere, along the ruthless struggles for survival, loses his humanity...
And becomes a bloodthirsty shell of what he actually was.

Until a long time after, 'someone certain' from his past life appears and brings him back.
