After his tragic death, Li Shen regresses to a younger version of himself, back before he had risen to fame as a martial arts prodigy. This time, however, he discovers that he has been granted a mysterious “Cheat System” which can grant him unique skills, abilities, or buffs by forming meaningful bonds with female martial artists who harbor secret techniques. Through forging deep connections, mutual respect, and shared lust and passion, he can unlock ancient and powerful abilities to shape his path of becoming absolute conqueror.

The Vassal Bonding System

Li Shen stood at the Viper Manor gates as servants loaded the last supplies onto their horses. The morning sun cast long shadows across the courtyard, painting the stone walls in shades of amber and gold.

Lan Zhi approached him, her usual stern demeanor softened by a hint of vulnerability. "My king, before you depart..."

"What troubles you, Lan Zhi?" Li Shen turned to face her.

"The manor's finances require my constant attention." She smoothed her robes, a nervous gesture unlike her typical composure. "But if only a few hours or even a day, my subordinates are capable enough to manage. Perhaps when you return..."

"There's a secluded hot spring in the eastern mountains." Her cheeks flushed slightly. "The waters are said to have healing properties. I'd like to show you, just the two of us."
