Manual of Dual Cultivation: From Rejected to Harem Lord
Ren Aoi was expelled from the Inner Sword Sect after eight years of being treated as trash: he couldn't cultivate, he had no spiritual root, and he was the silent shame of the elders. With only a ragged robe and a low-grade spiritual stone, he descends the steps of the martial world... homeless, without a future, and without hope.
But just when all seemed lost, a strange lotus flower merges with his soul, activating a mysterious system: the Thousand Unions Lotus, an ancestral artifact that grants him a second chance... if he manages to complete his first mission: to form a spiritual bond with another person within 72 hours or die.
What begins as a desperate struggle for survival turns into a journey of redemption, conquest, and power. Each emotional bond grants him spiritual power, access to hidden techniques, and unlocks new system functions, including a dimensional space and secret inheritances.
On his path, Ren will meet extraordinary women: a martial prodigy as cold as ice, a healer with demonic blood, an exiled princess who hides her identity, and a silent assassin with a broken past. Together they form a harem as lethal as it is charming... although the danger of jealousy, conspiracies, and rival cultivators threaten to destroy everything.
Between humor, epic battles, dual cultivation, shameless looting, enemy sects, and hearts on the line, Ren Aoi will prove that even someone without talent can defy the heavens... if he has the will, the strategy, and enough luck with women.
