I Won't Live Past 25: I Went on a Rampage in the Han and Tang Dynasties

Won't live past twenty-five?

The Li clan's thousand-year-old star chart curse locks fate in place. Fight for survival against all odds!

Li Yanqiu, a young man who studies ancient texts in Jiangcheng, unexpectedly unlocks a dual lineage and gains possession of a thousand-year-old star chart.

Wielding Li Ling's sword and inheriting the fierce sword lineage of the northern frontier, he draws his bow to break the charge of ten thousand horsemen and swings his sword to cut down the Xiongnu, dominating the battlefield between Han and Xiongnu. Inheriting Taibai's poetic spirit, he deciphers the secret script of the High Tang star chart: his poems can form battle arrays, and his literary brilliance can command the imperial court, making him the unrivaled star of Chang'an.

A traitor from his own clan, bearer of the Wolf Star bloodline, closes in at every turn, rewriting history and plundering across worlds in a conspiracy spanning a thousand years. The Han-Xiongnu wars, the upheavals of the High Tang, rifts in space-time, interstellar crises... Calamity follows calamity.

I will not change the fate ordained by heaven; I will only safeguard a legacy that has endured through the ages. I seek no dominion over all generations; I will only protect the foundations of Huaxia. With Li Ling's sword, I will steady the realm; with Taibai's poetry, I will illuminate the stars. One star chart links past and present; with sword and poem, I will cleave through the ages and ensure the civilizations of the heavens endure!
