Synopsis

Pei Zhao woke up in the water prison of Zhao Prison, and he had a destiny system that could eat up his lifespan and gnaw at his mind. Others get the system as a gift, but what he gets is a fatal shell: if he doesn't follow the instructions, he will die; if he follows the instructions, he will step by step become a tool for the system to survive. Since it wants to use him as a shell, Pei Zhao will first dismantle the system, then swallow the host, and then take away its power to divide lives. From the secret cases in the prison to the black seal in the ghost market, from the life-borrowing medicine to the old files of the Yesi Division, he solved murder cases, swallowed plug-ins, snatched seals, climbed the official ranks, and seized the power center of the Ming Dynasty along the way. This is not a story about "getting the system", this is a story about taking back everything that wants to control him.

Reader comments

After reading the tenth chapter, I feel that this book is not the kind of cool article that starts with a mindless push. What is more interesting about it is the identity of "Ji Yesi". The protagonist does not just rely on the system to move forward, but is pushed forward by the case, official rules and the power behind it. What caught me the most in the first few chapters was the moment when he swallowed the system. The cool part was not about shouting to become stronger, but the feeling of "If you want to use me as a chess piece, I'll overturn the chessboard first." If you like a little bit of Ming Dynasty background, conspiracies, and intrigues, you can try it. But if you just want to watch the opening seconds, you may feel that it is a little more stable. Personally, I will continue to chase him, mainly to see how Ji Yesi's line will rise later.
