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!]

Wu Jian realized that he was not the recipient of those stares, which was expected. Everyone stared at either Youmei or Huǒ Shuchang. 


“What is the meaning of this?!” Huǒ Huangdi suddenly roared. His face was a burnt red like flames were beneath the surface of his skin as he stomped up to them. 


“What do you mean, Father?” asked Huǒ Shuchang. 


“Do not give me that! What happened?! Why is your phoenix blood gone?! What is this?! What did you do to yourself?!” Spittle was practically flying from the man’s mouth as he shouted in his son’s face. From the shocked expressions everyone else in the clan wore, this had never happened before. 


Huǒ Shuchang shrugged. “I don’t know what to tell you. I got offered an offer that I couldn't refuse. You know how this world is, Father. Those with strength can do little more than bow and scrape before the strong. I’d never grow stronger if I remained as I was.”
