Lin Yan, a modern-day corporate wage slave, wakes up to discover he has transmigrated into the Investiture of the Gods as Di Xin, King Zhou of Shang, the fated ruler of a doomed kingdom!
From the start, he is at a life-or-death crossroads: at the Temple of Nuwa, all he has to do is write a poem, and he will incur Heaven's wrath. Three demons will bring chaos to the world, his kingdom will fall and his people will perish, and he will ultimately burn himself to death in the Star-Picking Tower, becoming a tyrant reviled throughout history.
With the complete memories of the Investiture of the Gods, Lin Yan gives a cold laugh, tosses aside his brush, and turns away.
I will not write that poem!
I will not be a tyrant!
I will break this doomed Investiture of the Gods plot!
The once-glorious Human Sovereign has been reduced to a minor marriage official in the Heavenly Court. The old ministers of Shang have become prisoners of the Heavenly Dao, and the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect have died miserably on the Investiture of the Gods...
The tragedies of the old timeline are still vivid, but I will rewrite the fate of the new one!
In court, he reforms the bureaucracy, eases taxes and labor duties, wins the people's support, and blocks demons from entering the palace.
On the battlefield, he joins forces with Wen Zhong, relies on Huang Feihu, and fights to defend the Shang dynasty.
Across the Three Realms, he stands up to the Chan Sect, allies with the Jie Sect, and directly challenges the Four Saints' game!
If the Heavenly Dao wants him dead, he will topple the Heavenly Dao!
If the Saints want him dead, he will shatter their schemes!
