Wang Lin was never meant to stand out. Born into a humble branch of the Wang family and mocked as “Tie Zhu” by those around him, he carried only two things of value – the love of his parents and an unshakable will. When a single, priceless recommendation to the immortal Heng Yue Sect falls into his hands, the quiet boy from a forgotten village steps onto a path that will either crush him… or remake him.
But this is not the story of a heaven-defying prodigy blessed by fate.
Wang Lin’s talent is mediocre, his background insignificant, and his chances close to zero. Surrounded by rivals with better bloodlines, sharper talent, and powerful backing, he quickly learns that in the world of cultivation, kindness is weakness and naivety is a death sentence.
Through bitter setbacks, narrow escapes, and painful choices, Wang Lin claws his way forward using nothing but patience, ruthlessness, and a terrifying capacity to endure. The boy once cherished as a gentle son will slowly become a cultivator whose name even immortals fear to provoke.
In a realm where strength is law and immortality is a distant dream, Wang Lin does not rely on destiny.
He seizes it, piece by bloody piece.
