Alistair Woods lives in a rural village. When his fiancée breaks the marriage contract because she believes he is not on the same level as the first Female Warrior, his relief does not last long: his master has another arranged marriage in line! This time, Alistair cannot escape the union and leaves for Lothan City, where he marries Lisa Anderson. What Alistair did not expect was to be so mistreated and to have his honor questioned by his new family. However, he has more important matters to deal with, such as a grand scheme that could put the lives of many in danger.

He was once the most feared assassin in the martial world—a blade that killed without hesitation, a shadow that left no survivors. But when Jin Mu-Kang regresses, he awakens a cultivation system unlike any other—one that grows only through good deeds. Save lives. Show mercy. Protect the weak. Every act of kindness makes him stronger… while every drop of blood threatens to erase him from existence. There’s just one problem—his past is drenched in sin. The system reveals a cruel truth: the karma he earns isn’t a reward, but a debt. Every life he saves is merely repaying the countless lives he once took. Fail to balance it, and he won’t just lose his power—he’ll vanish entirely. Now hunted by his former comrades, distrusted by righteous sects, and constantly tempted by the ruthless strength he once wielded, Mu-Kang is forced to walk a path he was never meant to follow.
