SYNOPSIS
Ye Yunfei's fall from grace begins when his martial veins suddenly seal shut, leaving him powerless in a world that worships strength. His family casts him aside, his fiancee abandons him, and rival clans circle like vultures. Just when death seems certain, a wandering sage takes pity and makes him a disciple, setting him on an unexpected path to become the youngest emperor in history. But ascension proves temporary. During a critical breakthrough attempt, enemies strike, shattering everything he built. Ye Yunfei wakes as a young man again with no power and no memory of his imperial reign, thrust back into the same world that once rejected him. Now he encounters the familiar faces of his past: people who wronged him, allies he thought lost, lovers he never forgot. Starting from nothing a second time, Ye Yunfei must decide whether to seek revenge or forge a different destiny. The question isn't just whether he can reclaim his strength, but who he'll become in the process.
