Shen Ye, a once-in-a-thousand-years prodigy of the Sword-Controlling Sect, is just one step away from reaching the Sword Immortal realm. His master orders him down the mountain to find his family and fulfill an arranged marriage. However, his prospective bride, Jiang Qingyue, offers him one million yuan to break off the engagement. Shen Ye immediately takes out the marriage contract and agrees to cancel it. But the engagement remains intact, and instead, the old patriarch forces the two to live together and register their marriage. A deadly formation lies hidden within the Jiang family's skyscraper, his future father-in-law's entire family has been afflicted with a soul-snatching curse, the Zheng family of the provincial capital plots to frame him, and Japanese demonic envoys relentlessly pursue him at an auction. Behind these conspiracies, a Demon Lord who has been dormant for a century is awakening. Shen Ye slays the Demon Venerable, tears apart the demonic envoys with his bare hands, and activates the Imperial Bell through his bloodline power, finally ascending to the Sword Immortal realm in a single battle.
