Su Zhou was a natural-born superhuman. To him, crushing bones was as effortless as crumbling butter cookies.Sometimes, being too special isn’t exactly a good thing. For many years, he searched this seemingly ordinary world for others of his kind, but his efforts always ended in vain…That was, until the sudden advent of the Spiritual Revival drew back the curtain on a vast, magnificent new era.In a world now teeming with monsters, wicked fiends, and countless demonic entities—Within a multiverse teetering on the brink of shattering and on the eve of absolute destruction—Su Zhou still harbors a heart that yearns for justice and pursues the righteous path.Drawing his blade in the face of injustice, he has but one rule:“Any monster that dares to appear before him… must die!”

In this period where countless supporting lead actors always attempt to counterattack, turn over a new leaf or simply refuse to take up the role, his purpose of existing is to fill the role of a good supporting male lead and uphold his duty to the best of his ability. To add the needed lustre to storylines and this world. Only, it’s a pity that someone who is not afraid of god-like enemies will be afraid of pig-like teammates.

Bitterly, he realises that for some unfathomable reason, he is being bothered time and again by a bastard who refuses to follow the script… In order to walk the path of a good supporting male lead, he engages in a battle of wits and courage with that person. Loving each other and killing each other, one ultimately cannot escape fate’s teasing– why is it so difficult wanting to be a responsible and diligent supporting male lead?! QAQ
