Transmigration and rebirth + golden finger + historical what-ifs + virtual world + court intrigue and palace battles + male-oriented power fantasy + Werewolf + strategy + fantasy
Gu Changsheng wakes up to find himself transmigrated into The Emperor’s Strategy as a nameless background extra, destined to be cannon fodder.
The good news: he’s been bound to the [Fate Fragment Analyzer]!
The bad news: the whole capital is following a script and putting on a show for him!
And so the iconic scenes start flooding in:
[You catch Crown Prince Zhao Heng reciting, “I am the chosen son of Heaven,” and achieve an epiphany: Actor Recognition. You can now see the script prompts above everyone’s heads in real time!]
[You lock eyes with Prince Regent Su Jingyuan for three seconds and unlock Script Peeking: So he’s planning a rebellion tonight? Better write a tip-off and help him die of embarrassment!]
[You wipe a wine stain off Third Prince Zhao Ke and unlock Fate Projection: Tomorrow, he’ll slaughter his way through the imperial city? Might as well edit in a short clip showing “the crown prince reports him → the prince regent takes the blame” and connect the dots!]
Later
The Grand Princess: “Please, Minister Gu, give me a bigger role!”
Liu Meiniang: “I’ll give you my life. Just help me torment the original heroine to death!”
Shen Wansan: “I’ll give you the imperial treasury. Just make me the second male lead!”
Su Yanran: “I’ll give you all the realm’s intelligence. Just carry me to an easy win!”
Atop the imperial city, Gu Changsheng cleaves the main server on the Dragon Throne in two and raises his middle finger at the cold will known as the Author:
“Sorry, but this script, ”
“Is now being edited by me, the couch-potato director!” As the [Fate Fragment Analyzer], he is now the only ultimate director who can see through everyone’s “acting.” His compassion is reserved for the innocents caught in the grip of fate; his self-interest is what keeps him alive in this hopeless game.
