The Immortal Palace: A Record of Defying Fate

Xie Chengguang was an ordinary cultivator at the bottom of the Immortal Palace. He was falsely accused and killed after offending a powerful courtier there. By an unexpected twist, he was reborn and activated a palace intrigue System. The System provided him with strategies and task management, helping him rise through the ranks amid the Immortal Palace's power struggles.

However, the powerful courtiers of the three Immortal Palaces obstructed Xie Chengguang at every turn to protect their own interests, sabotaging the network of alliances he had worked so hard to build. The Immortal Palaces' thousand-year grand gathering was about to begin, a crucial event that would determine who held power. Xie Chengguang had to grow stronger and secure a high enough position before it began. But his strength was meager in the early days after his rebirth, resources in the Immortal Palace were distributed unfairly, cultivators at the bottom were running out of resources, and rigid rules based on rank restricted his freedom.

To make matters worse, his lover from his previous life had been misled by a villain and believed he had betrayed her, leaving him unable to earn her trust. The villain also planted spies around him and used lies and betrayal to sow distrust and damage his relationships with those close to him. Yet with the System's help, Xie Chengguang kept breaking through adversity and making a name for himself in the Immortal Palace's power struggles.

As he grew stronger, the truth of his hidden identity as a descendant of an ancient immortal clan gradually came to light. If exposed, the secret would bring down a manhunt by the Immortal Palace's leaders and a concerted attack from its entire faction. But he refused to back down. While fending off the villain's open and covert attacks, he worked to increase his strength, preparing to make a stunning debut at the thousand-year gathering, overturn the Immortal Palace's old power structure, expose the villain's conspiracy, and clear his name. Even if victory might cost him the lover he once had, he would press on, driven by his pursuit of justice and truth.
