Does having a System with a protagonist's halo guarantee invincibility?
Is the heroine destined to fall in love with the hero?
Is the world destined to revolve around someone, as if no one else could possibly do?
Clear-eyed Jiang Muen refuses to lose himself in made-up tropes for his own amusement.
The warning signs are right before his eyes.
Reborn, he is entrusted with a crisis and inherits a low-spec System that has lost ninety percent of its combat power. The road to repairing it will be long and hard.
From then on, Jiang Muen becomes a traveler roaming countless worlds.
He explores ancient tombs and gathers ancient gold and jade with tomb-raiding officers skilled at locating burial sites.
He matches wits with schemers who maneuver through power struggles, vying for the lands of the Nine Provinces.
He trades sword moves with cultivators and martial heroes who look down on the heavens, then shares a bed with them when drunk.
He plays cards with alluring empresses and courtesans, making friends everywhere.
He eats dumplings with his parents, whose traditional way of life is fraught with danger, and enjoys the pleasures of filial devotion at their side.
The stars shine bright, life is short. Leave no regrets.
A thousand dangers, three thousand worldly affairs...
