A kid gets thrown into the gutter and spends three years clawing back to humiliate the people who put him there. The rage never stops being the fuel. The cultivation system is a weapon, not a mystery, and every breakthrough is a statement. You're not here to understand the cosmic rules, you're here to watch a vengeful nobody become sharp enough to hurt the right people.

Three years ago, Nalan Yanran, the young leader of the Yunlan Sect, rashly called off her betrothal to Xiao Yan. Stung by the humiliation, he bound himself to a three-year pact with her. Ever since, he has trained without rest: in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and the Tagor Desert, in the craft of alchemy, and through the searing pain of taking a strange fire into his body. All of it is meant to prove that a young man's potential should never be underestimated. Now the men of the Xiao family stand ready to meet the challenge without retreating, and Xiao Yan's growth carries on.
