The story begins with Chen Tianming, a senior at Jinhua Middle School in Qingjiang City: he has long ranked at the bottom of his class, his family is poor, and he is often bullied and extorted by classmates led by Yang Wei. One night, while collecting recyclables in a villa district, he accidentally falls from the second floor; his blood stains the sword ornament on his chest, and the ancient ornament glows red and merges into his body, granting him the legacy of a flying sword and a set of martial arts techniques, and his body grows stronger as he begins the path of cultivation. Thereafter, while maintaining the identity of an ordinary student, he deals with one trouble after another on campus and in the city, has various encounters with class monitor Ye Rouxue, the fiery Zhou Xixi, and others, and gradually uncovers the mystery of his birth and a larger conspiracy behind it. The book follows the urban cultivation power-fantasy route of "an ordinary youth's fortuitous encounter and rise, low-key hiding of strength, and layer-by-layer face-slapping," with fast pacing and high conflict density; it is one of the typical representatives of male-oriented urban supernatural works in the mid-2010s.
