I Pretended to Be from a Hidden Ancient Clan, but My Card Draw Really Summoned an Ancestor

[Transmigrate into a book + gacha System + underdog comeback + funny, no romance] On the first day Gu Zhao transmigrated into a book, she was already kneeling on the tribunal platform. In the original story, she was a cannon-fodder character who didn’t survive three chapters: framed for stealing the Xuanyuan Jade, expelled from her sect, and left to die in the snow outside its gates. To stay alive, she pulled out a broken piece of jade in front of everyone and blurted, “This came from the Gu Clan of the Primordial Beginning. I’m one of their descendants.”

System: [The Host is currently committing high-risk identity fraud.]

Gu Zhao: Shut up. Just let me survive this chapter first!

She thought that if she played the part well enough, she could fool everyone. But the broken jade recognized its master, the gacha System came online, and members of the ancient clan she’d invented on the spur of the moment began appearing one after another. While others relied on destiny to seize opportunities, she used Reverence Points to draw cards and turn the tables. Others thought she had every move calculated, but only Gu Zhao knew that each time she put on an act, she was gambling with her life. Then an ancient clan decree resurfaced, and the Book of Destiny began hunting down this impossible variable.

Gu Zhao: I just wanted to survive the first three chapters. How did I actually end up becoming the clan’s founding ancestor?
