Shi Mobai, a top archaeology student who specializes in ancient writing, transmigrates by accident into a fantasy world where talisman cards reign supreme, becoming a good-for-nothing scion of a family everyone mocks.
In this world, power comes from talisman cards inscribed with “spirit patterns.” While everyone sneers that he cannot sense spirit patterns, Shi Mobai discovers to his shock that the mysterious ancient talisman cards no one can decipher are inscribed with something he knows all too well: Chinese characters!
“Thunder” summons lightning, while “Space” tears open the void... By “deciphering” ancient talisman cards, he rises from an outcast of his family to a dazzling genius of the talisman arts.
Yet his greatest secret and deepest attachment is the battle slave, silent and powerful as a beast, who was tortured mercilessly by the previous owner of his body.
Shi Mobai gives him his first name, Chu Jiye, pulls him out of the mire, and promises that they will stand side by side.
He does not know that this act will not only save his own future, but also kindle a flame powerful enough to consume the old world.
As the brand of slavery intertwines with the tenderness of salvation, and the secrets of time and space emerge alongside the ultimate truth of talisman cards, how will the two of them break their chains and reshape the world
I read a dozen chapters. The protagonist is cold-hearted and a white-eyed wolf. He never cared about the only people he had ever encountered who were loyal to him and sacrificed their lives for him. The first time Chu was imprisoned in Xingtang, if you didn't save me, I would treat you as if you had no strength, and the mud Buddha crossed the river. The second time Chu sacrificed his life to save the male protagonist. After the male protagonist woke up, he came back to take a look. He didn't look for anyone when he didn't see anyone, so he left by himself... He also said that he would come back to look for him no matter whether he was dead or alive? I'm really speechless... If he was being chased by poisonous snakes, he would be dead if you came to see him again.
