Lin Yuan, a history student in the 21st century, dies suddenly after staying up all night reading a novel. When he wakes, he finds himself a sacrificial offering in the Primordial World.
He thinks he has transmigrated by accident, but soon discovers he was deliberately dragged here from the modern world by Demon Master Kunpeng as a “key,” a pawn meant to break the Wu Clan’s seal.
The Wu Clan wants him dead, the Demon Clan wants him crippled, the Chan Sect watches from the shadows, and even the Sages cast him meaningful glances.
Fortunately, he finds a jade slip concealing a fragment of Hong Yun’s soul, which opens his eyes to karma. Red means blood feud, gold means gratitude, gray means schemes, and black means a fatal doom. Everyone thinks he is just a pawn they can move at will.
Lin Yuan smiles. “Do you know what modern people are best at? Turning the tables.”
From sacrificial altar to chessboard, from pawn to player, watch how an ordinary man carves out his own path through the Primordial World.
