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!]

“Something is wrong with Yu Qiang,” Wu Jian stated. 


“You noticed it too?” asked Hou Jingshu. 


He nodded, eyes not leaving the arena. “I haven’t known him for very long, but I realize that he hasn’t been as confident lately. It’s as if he’s questioning himself.” 


The elder directed Yu Qiang and Húndàn Wang to bow to their ancestors, to him, and to each other. Both fighters did as instructed. Nothing seemed out of place to the average eye. Wu Jian doubted anyone other than the people who knew those two best would realize there was a problem with one of them. 


“On the count of three, two, one… and fight!” 


With a chop of his hand, the elder initiated the battle, and yet neither Yu Qiang nor Húndàn Wang made a move immediately. The pair drew their swords at roughly the same time.
