Synopsis

The 13th generation disciple of the Great Mount Hua Sect. One of the Three Great Swordsmen. The Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Chung Myung.
After slicing the head of the peerless Heavenly Demon, who threw the world into chaos, he slept an eternal sleep on the peak of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Jumping over a hundred years, he comes back in the body of a child.
But… what? Mount Hua declined? What the hell are you talking about!?
It’s only natural to want to live if you’re going broke.
“Decline? Even though I’m here? Who would dare!”
Plum blossoms eventually fall.
But when the cold winter passes and spring comes, plum blossoms shall bloom again.
“But I’m gonna die first before Mount Hua gets revived! If you’re gonna go bust, might as well do it right, you bastards!”
The beginning of the Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Chung Myung’s solitary struggle to save the thoroughly declining Mount Hua Sect.

Editor's Note

💡 The "Old Man" Soul. What sets this apart from other "OP MC" stories is Chung Myung’s personality. He isn't a stoic hero; he is a foul-mouthed, money-grubbing, short-tempered "rotten old man" who beats his juniors into shape. However, beneath the comedy lies a deeply moving portrayal of survivor's guilt. Chung Myung is a man out of time, mourning a family only he remembers, and his desperate push to make his new juniors strong is his way of ensuring he never loses his "family" again.

*"1920+ chapters of plum blossoms, flying slippers, and suppressed trauma. This is not a novel — it's a lifestyle."*

Experience Curve

The Beggar’s Return (Ch. 1–100): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Pure Satisfaction. Watching a legend deal with incompetent debt collectors and lazy juniors is gold.

The Training Arcs (Ch. 101–400): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Peak Comedy. The "Mount Hua Training Hell" is legendary. The introduction of characters like Baek Cheon and the Tang family adds great depth.

The World Stage (Ch. 401–1000+): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Grand Scale. The politics of the Murim world become complex. Introduction of top-tier villains like Jang Ilso raises the stakes.

The Eternal Struggle (Ch. 1001–1920+): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Marathon. The pacing slows down significantly as the war with the Demonic Cult looms. Some repetitive humor/praise cycles can occur.

WebNovelDB Review

9 /10

A top-tier Murim experience that will make you laugh until you cry—and then cry for real.

The Protagonist: Chung Myung is arguably one of the best-written MCs in the genre. He is a "Black Dragon" who dyes everyone around him in his own chaotic color.

The Found Family: The growth of the "Mount Hua Five Swords" is central. They aren't just lackeys; they are distinct individuals who eventually stand on their own.

Humor vs. Angst: The novel is famous for its "Gallows Humor." It uses slapstick to mask the MC's deep psychological scars from the war 100 years ago.

Visuals: The "Plum Blossom" sword techniques are described with incredible poetic detail, making the battles feel like art.

Not For You If: You need your MC to be polite, restrained, or respectful of authority. Chung Myung's solution to every problem is violence, sarcasm, or both. If that sounds exhausting, it will be — for 1920 chapters.

Reader Archetype: You love watching a chaotic grandparent figure abuse his 'grandchildren' into becoming better people. You're here for the laughs, the tears, and the sword techniques that look like flowers.
