In the Nine Heavens Cosmos, fortune determines life and death, karma entangles all living beings, the strong seize opportunities, and everyone is a pawn. Xuan Heng, a prince of an ancient imperial clan, awakened a forbidden constitution that brought visions across the heavens. He should have risen to the peak on the strength of his clan's fortune, but the laws of heaven and earth collapsed.
Large numbers of outsiders carrying Systems descended, wantonly plundering fortune and opportunities. Newly risen clans seized the chaos to expand, devouring the imperial clan's territory. Beset by troubles within and threats from without, the clan teetered on the brink of collapse. To protect Xuan Heng, his clansmen sealed his constitution with a secret technique, forcing him into hiding.
During an excursion, Xuan Heng was besieged by multiple forces and left bleeding beneath the sky. A fragment of his imperial soul accidentally transmigrated to the modern mortal world. Having forgotten his past, he lived as an ordinary person for twenty-two years. Then he met a woman of unparalleled beauty, and an inexplicable stirring arose deep in his soul. Just as he was about to confess his feelings, a car accident tore through time and space. He returned to his body in the cultivation world, and the woman's soul returned with him, scattered across this realm.
Upon his return, the danger was even greater. His clan was on the verge of destruction, outsiders who had transmigrated ran rampant, and old enemies watched from the shadows. To survive and protect those he cherished, Xuan Heng fought his way upstream against the torrent of fortune. He made close friends, endured betrayal, and uncovered the truth behind the outsiders' plundering of fortune. Through a twist of fate, he reunited with the woman destined for him, and they became Dao companions.
He returned to his clan with tremendous power and an understanding of the essence of fortune. No longer seeking only his own transcendence, he made himself a piece on the board to shake the twisted cycle of fortune. He led the imperial clan in a struggle against all sides, severed the outsiders' grasping hands, and reshaped the order of heaven and earth.
Once the dust settled, Xuan Heng did not seek to rule the Nine Heavens. Instead, he led his clan into a transcendent realm. Hand in hand with his Dao companion, he journeyed through the Myriad Worlds, carefree amid the mortal realm, leaving behind only the legend of the Emperor's Son of Fortune, eternally passed down through the river of karma.
