Name: The Stepping-Stone Male Lead Must Stay Away from the Violent Heroine
Author: Thread Puppet

Synopsis

This is a world where the strong rule, and where women take charge outside the home while men manage the household.

Living in this feudal, woman-dominated society, Wei Ling is a little panicked.

He was born frail. Forget entering the martial path, even running a few steps leaves him gasping for breath.

The one thing he can be grateful for is that he retains the memories of his past life, and has a master whose martial arts are profound and who is skilled at divining the secrets of fate.

Though he was born with a weakness and has no hope of pursuing martial arts, Wei Ling has spent more than a decade learning to peer into fate and divine destiny. He may not be an expert, but he knows enough to get by.

One day, while peering into the secrets of fate, he suffers a terrible karmic backlash. A trickle of crimson blood escapes his mouth. Pale-faced, he leans against the tea table and murmurs weakly,

“Calamity...”

At that very moment, in the Great Chuan Dynasty,

a woman in purple brocade stands with her hands behind her back, smiling faintly as she gazes out the window.

“By seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and going with the flow, can Ling escape his fate in this life?”

Urban Brainstorming + Urban High Martial Arts + Urban Cultivation + Witty Comedy...

I'd like to read something like Cultivating Immortality in the Metaverse. It's a fanfic dressed up as a cultivation novel, half romance and half cultivation... It features lots of fanfic characters and is extremely brain-burning. Readers with simple minds, beware!
