[Urban high martial arts] [Spiritual Qi Revival] [System draws] [Funny, satisfying read] [Awakening at school] [Emotion points] [Archenemies] [Mature, elegant female lead] [Will-they-won't-they tension] [Face-slapping and leveling up] [Cohabitation and crossed wires] [Two strong leads standing side by side]
Thirty years into the Spiritual Qi Revival, everyone awakens a spiritual vein. The strong enter academies, guard the rifts, and ascend the Star Gates. But on the eve of his awakening, poor young Shen Xingye is branded a "crippled-vein-in-the-making" by the whole school. Even selling barbecue skewers at a street stall earns him public humiliation at the hands of a rich kid. At the crucial moment, the [Tilted System] activates: as long as he makes people furious, shocked, mortified, or completely lose their cool, he can draw god-tier rewards. From then on, Shen Xingye takes an unconventional path to power. While others pray for talent at the awakening ceremony, he puts on a show; while others fight for their lives in combat exams, he collects rage points as he fights; and when he leaves the school's testing device smoking, every teacher is left questioning reality. Even more absurdly, the cool, mature beauty Qi Zhaoxue transfers to the school, only to turn out to be a future empress reborn. She remembers the paths of every genius from her previous life, yet she can't see through this sharp-tongued young man. She plans to use Shen Xingye as a stepping stone, only to be outdone by him again and again, teased by him, and pushed to the point of losing her composure. From desk-mates and archenemies to temporary housemates, they go from scheming against and bickering with each other to standing side by side to suppress the rifts. Until their old enemy from the stars arrives, and Qi Zhaoxue, eyes red, raises her sword and stands in front of him. "Anyone who wants to touch him will have to get my permission first." Shen Xingye grins and draws his blade. "Sis, don't make your possessiveness so obvious. You'll make me blush."
