In his previous life, he was a shadow mastermind who collapsed empires with whispers and psychological ploys. Transmigrated into a bloodthirsty Murim world where strength is everything, Rei hides behind the disguise of a pathetic, hunchbacked servant. While arrogance and greed consume the heirs of the sects, Rei silently weaves his web. He doesn't fight; he manipulates. From a helpless worm in the Lower Courtyard to the shadow master controlling high-ranking disciples like puppets, his game of chess has just begun.
