I Can See the Star Chart of Fate

Gifted, yet plagued by misfortune all his life. In his impoverished old age, artist Gu Xingchen quietly passed away in a leaky studio. The masterpieces he had devoted his life to creating never saw the light of day.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back at eighteen, on the eve of the “Talent Awakening Ceremony,” the turning point of his fate.

This time, the script of his life would be rewritten completely.

“Ding! The Fate-Reading System has been activated.”

He was no longer an ordinary man at the mercy of fate. Above every person and every object, he could clearly see a “Fate Star Chart,” woven from the intersecting paths of countless stars.

[Stray cat by the roadside]: Fate “Nine-Lived Spirit Cat, unawakened.” It will be run over in three hours. If rescued, it will grant the protection of a “Good Fortune” fate.

[Unremarkable antique vase]: Fate “Spirit-Gathering Vessel, obscured.” It contains a lost ancient technique and is worth a fortune, yet it is being treated as junk.

[Necklace belonging to the school beauty]: Fate “Substitute Death Talisman, activating.” It is currently shielding her from a fatal calamity.

The opportunities he once missed now stood out clearly before his eyes, down to the smallest detail. The dangers lurking around him could no longer escape his notice. The paths of other people’s fates became stepping stones on his way to the top.

He invested in future business magnates, befriended future martial arts grandmasters, and snatched away world-shaking opportunities that should have belonged to others. With the stars as his pieces and the fates of all living beings as his board, Gu Xingchen planned every move, rewriting his own destiny and overturning the entire world.

While everyone else was still struggling in the torrent of fate, Gu Xingchen had already taken his place above the stars, smiling as he gazed down at the resplendent Fate Star Chart he had drawn with his own hands.
