When Cheng Yan woke up, he was already dead in the woodshed.
What's even weirder is that he can see the cause and effect entries above the heads of sentient beings:
Some people will get an opportunity in three days, some people are burdened with century-old debts, and some people seem to be alive, but their lifeline has long been broken.
But every time he peeked, his life span would be lost.
In order to survive, Cheng Yan started from Tianhengzong's Servant House, seized opportunities, broke the deadlock, entered the outer sect, and gradually got involved in the old Jinghe case, the sect's blood debt and the dynastic conspiracy.
Until he finally saw his destiny:
[Cheng Yan: A dead person.
[Current status: Surviving by fate.
[Final cause and effect: return one's name.
He looked at the fate of all sentient beings, only to find that he had already died once.
This time, he wanted to change his life.
