When Lin Xiao woke up, he discovered he had become a bottom-tier good-for-nothing in a cyberpunk Ming Dynasty.
He owed 8,300 yuan, had 100 yuan in savings, and his destiny was "Do Whatever You Want." It sounded powerful, but he hadn't even reached the first level.
That was until he came across an anonymous post on a forum: "The Emperor's Destiny Path: How to Cultivate (Semi-Public Edition)."
Purple qi surged from the east. The sky changed color. A purple rift tore open the heavens over the entire mortal world.
The Imperial Guard mobilized through the night. The Grand Secretariat held an emergency meeting. In the imperial palace, thousands of miles away, the emperor dropped his sword.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao sat in his shabby rental room, staring at a new line on his System panel: "Emperor's Destiny Path: Activated."
What he didn't know was that he had already placed the first token on the scales of that Destiny Path.
