Lin Yi was born into the world of cultivation, but before he could even celebrate, his own mother taught him a lesson: "Staying alive matters more than anything. There's no shame in using a few tricks."
At three years old, he discovered that his mother had long since seen through the fact that something about him was off. The two of them understood each other without a word: one pretended to be innocent, the other played dumb, and they secretly tested each other.
At five, he reached Qi Refining and chose to hide his abilities. At eight, he reached Foundation Establishment and kept a low profile. While others fought to the death over resources, he gathered leverage. While others fought tooth and nail for pride, he plotted his moves.
Everyone said Lin Yi was a gentle, jade-like senior brother, the moonlight in their hearts.
Only after he ascended did everyone realize...
He had been playing this game of chess since he was in the womb.
