Seventeen-year-old Wèi Shā learned early that kindness is a lie people tell when they want something from you.His American stepfather rules their home like a petty king—backed by a local gang that turns cruelty into routine. His mother’s silence is a permission slip. And Wèi Shā, trapped between obedience and rage, survives by becoming colder than the world around him.Then a school morning ends in a gunshot.He should be gone.Instead, death becomes a doorway.Wèi Shā awakens in a brutal cultivation realm where “righteous” sects crush the weak, where power decides innocence, and where the Dao itself rewards those willing to take what they’re denied. With nothing but his bitterness, his pragmatism, and cultivation that feels disturbingly familiar, he climbs—one ruthless choice at a time.He doesn’t want to be a hero.He wants to be impossible to hurt.And in a world that only respects monsters, Wèi Shā may become the greatest calamity Heaven has ever tried to erase.
