(No harem + not a mindless power fantasy + a mythic world of mountains and seas x xuanhuan fantasy + multiple storylines)
[Friends with a Dragon-Aotian?
A transmigrator, Emperor Ye Tian?
Bai Zhu Kui feels the pressure mounting: “Wait, so I’m the only honest one here?!”]
One of life’s regrets is that the past can only be revisited in memory. In his youth, Bai Zhu Kui made an enemy of an immortal who rode the clouds.
From then on, he journeyed north along the thousand-mile road to Tongguan. Yet the moment he took his first step, he had already become a pawn on the “world’s” chessboard.
He left his homeland and endured countless hardships, spending decades away. When he finally returned to the mortal world, the carved railings and jade-like halls were still there, but their former splendor had changed.
He gained things, but lost them too. Before he had time to sigh or grieve, several powerful hands began making their moves, and an even greater conspiracy awaited him...
How should this white chess piece meet the challenges ahead? Friendship? Conviction? Fortune? Or perhaps... breaking free of the game!
[The road to growth is often winding for ordinary people, and transmigrators with a “System Dad” aren’t all good people either. Come see the unusual lives of the characters in this book!]
