Synopsis
Cursed former agent Lu Chen infiltrates Kunlun Sect as a handyman to find a hidden enemy while uncovering secrets and forming unexpected bonds.
Lu Chen, once a formidable "Shadow" undercover agent for the Fuyun Division, saw his life shattered when a mission against a demon sect left him cursed and stripped of his cultivation. After a decade of living in isolation, he is approached by Master Tian Lan with a new, clandestine assignment: infiltrate the prestigious Kunlun Sect to root out a hidden enemy agent. To maintain his cover, Lu Chen takes on the humble role of a handyman disciple. As he navigates the complexities of life within the sect, he forms unexpected bonds and begins to uncover long-buried secrets hidden within the Kunlun Sect’s walls. Caught between his past duties and his growing connections, Lu Chen must navigate a dangerous path where the lines between right and wrong are not as clear as they seem.
