Wu Jian comes from a small clan eking out a living in the countryside. Despite being the clan heir, he is bullied for being cowardly and weak. In a world where the strength of a person's cultivation determines their lot in life, weakness is not allowed, and those who possess it are often stamped out.

But Wu Jian doesn't want to remain weak. He doesn't want to stay a coward. He wants to be strong.

Witness the rise of one young man who, with the help of his childhood friend, will face adversity, forge new bonds of love and friendship, and gain the strength needed to protect his loved ones and find meaning in his life.

It all begins here.

[Disclaimer: This is an addictive, slow-burn harem story about a hard-working protagonist who wants to get stronger for the people he loves. If you're sick and tired of reading the same old cultivation stories about OP MCs who never work for their power, this novel will give you new life. You will laugh, cry, scream kawaii, and probably curse the author every so often. Prepare for everything from slice-of-life to action/adventure to epic battles and political machinations and everything in-between!]

Severing Time & Space

As the men began offloading the boxes and barrels stacked in their carts, Bu Tai stood before Wu Jian and Huǒ Shuchang. 


“Thanks to you, we were able to avoid some hardships on our way here. This is your pay, as promised.” 


“Many thanks, Senior Tai,” said Huǒ Shuchang, who sent Wu Jian a smug grin. 


Wu Jian bristled as Bu Tai passed a bag full of gold coins to Huǒ Shuchang, who was given seniority because of his higher cultivation. It was a bit frustrating to know Bai Tu saw Huǒ Shuchang as the leader. He would definitely grow much stronger--strong enough that Huǒ Shuchang would be forced to look up at him. Then he would be the one these people deferred to. 


“You’re quite welcome. If you need an inn, might I recommend the Lustrous Qilin? While the name sounds ostentatious, it is well within your current budget. The money I gave you should be enough for you to stay there several days,” said Bu Tai.
