In case you’re wondering why it’s called ‘Bat’, it’s because the killer leaves a dried bat on his victims like his signature, not because one of them is a bat lol.
Synopsis:
Bai lao-taiye’s birthday banquet, the always elusive1龙见首不见尾 – lit. the dragon sees the head but not the tail – basically used to describe someone as mysterious, elusive but also in terms of their whereabouts i.e. hard to pin down, Feng Long, the alliance leader of Wulin came to personally to offer his birthday wishes, making the old man brimming with smiles.
When the distinguished guest graced everyone with his presence, the joyous atmosphere grew even stronger. Whilst the eyes of the crowd as well as their admiration and envy focused on the pride of Wulin, Feng Long’s eyes, but fell upon the most inconspicuous corner of the birthday banquet.
“I, Feng Long, am untalented, to think that there is such a handsome2龙凤之姿 = alright it’s a bit more than handsome lit. beauty of dragon and phoenix – this phrase used to be used to describe the Emperor new talent in Wulin. May I ask this honourable friend for your name?”
The people from the Bai family secretly frowned. The guests in the hall were also distinguished and outstanding talents, how is it that the stain of the Bai Family, the most unloved by his father, the third young master of the Bai Family, who was not even allowed to learn the Bai family’s style of martial arts, had attracted the attention of the Alliance Leader, Feng Long?
This is the world-famous Bilu sword?
After one meeting, Bai Shaoqing immediately came to a conclusion: this person was powerful, he should not stay any longer at the Bai Family Manor. Out of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best answer3三十六计,走为上策。= Things are looking hopeless, so it’s better to leave.

Thank you so much for picking this novel! I’ve been searching English trans for this since I knew it became drama. This kind of torturing-toxic romance in wuxia setting surprisingly is my fave genre hahaha I really curious how this novel adapted to drama script, especially since the scriptwriter and author is the same person.
If you don’t mind, may I translate it to Indonesian? Of course I’ll credit you, I’ll give you the link once I started translate it. (I plan to post it in Wattpad)
Hi Shin,
Thank you for reaching out.
I am not currently taking translation requests. If you are okay with holding off for a bit until the translation is finished. I’d be happy to review.
As this is an ongoing project, I believe that the entire translation will need some edits at the end and cleaning up of terms etc. And for respect for the author as well as the novel, I don’t really feel comfortable allowing someone to translate off my work when it is unfinished as it will not be the most up to date or accurate version!
Hope that’s okay….. If you want to translate from Chinese or MTL, well that is up to you but for now, no re-translations of my work.
Qianya.
