Namgung Mujе, the Killer of the Thousand Deaths

Nangong Hui, known as the Thousand-Shadow Dark Emperor.

Exiled from his family, he spent his whole life as an assassin and was mocked as a “miserable mule,” until he was burned to death.

Only at the brink of death did he realize the truth: the hundreds of golden needles embedded throughout his body were part of his family’s scheme to seal away the ash of the Heavenly Slaughter.

When he opens his eyes, he is back in that time when he was still being looked down on.

This time, it will be different. I won’t abandon myself.

Everyone who trampled on me—

“This time, you’re the ones who will endure it.”
