Backhand Breaks the Sky

Backhand Breaks the Sky is an urban-themed web novel by the online author "Siceng Xiangzhi," told in the first person about an ordinary young man's growth and rise in the city. The protagonist has a sister who is not related to him by blood, and the two depend on each other. To protect her, he offends people he should not have offended and is drawn into a series of grudges and conflicts, embarking on a road from which there is no turning back. The story then unfolds across school, the streets, and various interpersonal entanglements: open and covert struggles among classmates, direct confrontations with mysterious figures such as "Black Treasure," and the approach and distance of affection. Through repeated setbacks, injuries, and counterattacks, the protagonist gradually accumulates strength and influence, rising from an ordinary person looked down upon to carve out a place of his own. The work is direct in pace and dense in conflict, with typical features of early male-oriented urban supernatural fiction: humble origins, emotion-driven motivation, and a change of fate through ruthlessness and opportunity. The book is about 140,000 characters long, divided into more than forty chapters, including "My Sister," "Forcefully Kissed," "Revenge Plan," "The Mysterious Little Black," "The Romance of the Forgetful Flower Sea," and "Finale: Perfect Ending."
