[Multiple Heroines + System + Playing It Safe + Subverting the Tropes, Lighthearted Comedy, Sweetness and Heartbreak]
Xu Changtian was born into the cultivation world and kept a low profile for sixteen years. On the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he awakened a Book of Heavenly Fated Marriages.
The book records the marriage ties of the chosen ones under heaven. Sever one thread of fate, and claim a share of their fortunes.
From then on, Qingming Sword Sect’s Sixth Peak gained a troublemaking “blond”:
When a chosen one went into seclusion, he looked after their Dao companion.
When a chosen one went on an adventure, he kept their admirers at bay.
As he kept digging, he got his hands on Ascension Pills, Dao-Seeking Pills, ancient inheritances, and innate treasures.
As he kept digging, he went from the outer sect’s dead-last disciple, with a mixed spiritual root of four elements, to the greatest cultivator of all time.
A greedy little Pixiu, a slacker saintess, a tea-loving junior sister, a cold senior sister, and a widowed elder.
Then there was the little sword spirit who popped out of his flying sword and called him “husband” every day.
The romantic battleground was always in session. All he wanted to say was: “I, Xu, am truly an upright gentleman.”
Until one day, he discovered that this Book of Heavenly Fated Marriages was a blade the world itself had placed in his hands.
The so-called chosen ones were merely pieces on the gods’ chessboard.
And he, the “substitute,” was the final piece in the game to slay the gods.
Although the emphasis on female dependence is also very interesting, I really like this fairy tale novel. You can see the quality in the first few chapters. Yes, the strength has improved compared to the first one 😄
Well, it's quite profound, and it feels like reading modern literature (only my personal opinion)
The protagonist's three views are quite upright.
