What if the Main Character wasn't the hero? What if he wasn't the love interest? Nor, the biggest enemy? What if the main character actually had parents? What if his parents didn't abandon him? Maybe, he actually knows his parents!
Yuan Jing is no ordinary wuxia main character, rather he is The Basic Cultivator. His talent may be heaven-defying, but not his adventures. His family may be extremely mighty, but not his strength. He is what most consider the background character. Not getting great results, but still getting by.
