Jiang Yuefeng's last memory was cold steel through his back and betrayal from the woman he trusted. He was a modern man—wealthy, strategic, heartless when needed. Yet even he had miscalculated the cost of trust.
But death was not his end.
He awoke in a wooden hut, the scent of crushed herbs and burnt incense thick in the air. His body ached, unfamiliar and fragile.

A flood of memories poured into his mind—some his, some not.
The original Jiang Yuefeng had been born into a declining noble clan, once respected in the Fallen Cloud Sect. Despite a good heart, his weak spirit roots led to ridicule and sabotage. His dantian had been crippled on a failed mission. Betrayed, expelled, and abandoned by everyone, he had died alone in this forsaken hut.
And now I've inherited not just his body, but his pain… and his opportunity.
Jiang Yuefeng sat up and clenched his fist.
His once-severed dantian pulsed with life. Warmth flowed through his meridians like an awakening storm.
A knock came at the door.
A girl's voice. "Are you awake?"
She stepped in carefully—a slim figure in pale blue robes. Violet eyes, gentle yet cautious. A herbal pouch hung from her belt, indicating she was an alchemy apprentice.

Cultivation: 2nd Layer Qi Refining
Emotional State: Curious. Fearful. Compassionate.
"She found this body half-dead in the forest," Yuefeng muttered under his breath.
He gave her a weak smile. "Thank you… You saved me."
Mu Yuyan blushed faintly and looked away. "You were bleeding and unconscious. I couldn't just leave you."
She's kind… but she's also guarded. If I press too quickly, she'll disappear. I need to earn her trust first.
The next three days, Jiang Yuefeng stayed in the hut under her care.
He asked about the Mortal River Continent—a vast, merciless world governed by strength. Mortals were tools, and cultivators were gods in flesh. Dozens of sects competed in each region, their hierarchy defined by brutal power:
Sect Ranks:
Low Level
Middle Level
Top Level
Saint Level
Holy Level (Mythical)
Cultivation Realms:
Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Core Formation → Nascent Soul → Soul Transformation → Spirit Ascension → Void Breaking → Ascendant Path → Immortal Tribulation → Mahayana
Yuefeng's new body was only at the 1st Layer of Qi Refining when it died. But now, even without training, the system had repaired his meridians and restored his dantian.
A clean slate… and a tool like no other.
At night, he helped Mu Yuyan refine herbs and recover stolen materials from a group of apprentices who had been abusing her. He never asked for a reward. Never hinted at desire. Instead, he listened, healed her wounds, and earned her trust.
When she finally invited him into her room that rainy night, it was her choice.
She cried softly after their union, whispering her fears and hopes into his chest.

She fell asleep with a content smile, curled in his arms.
Yuefeng gently brushed her hair aside, staring at the ceiling with calm eyes.
I'll take care of her. I'll protect her. But I will never love her.
Love is a weakness I can't afford—not in this world.
Before dawn, he placed a protective jade amulet in her satchel and left with nothing but his robes and a quiet goodbye.
Three days later, he arrived at Blossom Veil City, where the famed Crimson Lotus Sect, a Middle-Level sect, was recruiting.
Here, he spotted his next path forward: a tall, graceful girl standing alone by a formation stone. Long silver-black hair, sharp violet eyes, and the air of a sword unsheathed.

Cultivation: 7th Layer Qi Refining
Emotional State: Guarded. Indifferent. Lonely.
She's far beyond me right now. I can't seduce her… I must earn her.
He followed her into public lectures, not speaking. Not watching. Only existing on the periphery. Subtle. Quiet.
Over the next ten days, he attended every spiritual formation study she did. He asked sharp questions to the masters but never once addressed her directly.
On the twelfth day, she finally looked at him.
"You're not like the others," she said.
Yuefeng smiled gently. "Because I don't see you as a prize. I see you as a person."
She didn't respond—but that night, she invited him to tea. Then again the next day.
Their friendship bloomed from silence, study, and patience.
On the fifteenth night, beneath the twin moons, they kissed for the first time.
And when they joined bodies in her courtyard, it was slow and mutual—no dominance, no rush. Just the quiet weaving of energy and trust.

She lay in his arms, staring into his eyes.
"Why are you always so… gentle?" she whispered.
Jiang Yuefeng leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Because you deserve it."
But in the back of his mind, cold thoughts swirled:
The stronger they are, the more effort they require… but also, the greater the reward.
And I will rise to the top of this world—not with swords or fury, but with affection and lies.
