Lu Hao always thought he was just a little luckier than most.
He survived a fall off a cliff, found an ancient jade, stumbled into an immortal sect, beat a powerful foe by taking a tumble, and survived one desperate situation after another. Somehow, whenever these unbelievable things happened to him, they always seemed perfectly reasonable.
But in other people's eyes, his very existence was like a nail driven into the middle of a game of chess.
This cultivation world was cruel and harsh, rife with schemes. Everyone was calculating, everyone wanted to win. Only Lu Hao was so sincere it bordered on foolishness. He followed his heart in everything he did, yet somehow kept smashing the most elaborate plans at the most impossible moments.
As the legacy of the ancient cultivators, the mysteries of the demonic talismans, the Nether Abyss, and the struggle over fortune gradually unfolded, Lu Hao finally realized he wasn't simply lucky.
He seemed to be some kind of variable hidden away by the Heavenly Dao.
And everyone, enemies, friends, sects, and powerhouses alike, would have to place their bets anew because of him.
This is the story of a boy who was “straight-up foolish,” yet carved his way through the cultivation world with his heaven-defying fortune.
It's also a fiery tale of the immortal path, destiny, a game of chess, and an innocent heart.
