The Pagoda of Brazen Regrets

Zong Xiaotian’s life was supposed to end in the dirt. Publicly crippled and drained of his legendary Marrow-Flame Bloodline by his own father to benefit a favored sibling, Xiaotian is left with nothing but a cheeky grin, a bitter heart, and a useless stone pagoda. But when his blood seeps into the trinket, it awakens Yao Qingyu - a seductive, ancient demoness with a thirst for chaos and a repertoire of forgotten, devastating martial arts. Armed with her teachings and accompanied by a sarcastic, rock-eating turtle named Baozi, Xiaotian crashes the sect’s prestigious Spring Tournament. When his snobby fiancée attempts to publicly break their engagement, he spectacularly dumps her first, beginning a relentless, face-slapping ascent back to the top. Yet, a bittersweet shadow hangs over his victories. He secretly pines for Lin Muxi, a gentle saintess doomed by the sect's cruel traditions. Furthermore, Xiaotian realizes his stolen bloodline and Yao Qingyu’s missing soul fragments are the exact same thing. Will his quest for vengeance ultimately trigger the very apocalypse his master was sealed to prevent?
