Shen Yi transmigrates into the martial world of Great Yu, where the “Heavenly Ranking Game” sets the rules. With no status screen and no identity, he is branded a con artist from the start and is about to become a fodder monster for Jiang Xuan, the game-story's destined villain, to farm points from.
As the blade falls, he awakens his golden finger, “Dream Memorization.” Whenever he falls asleep, he enters an endless library. Any cultivation manual, dossier, or secret he memorizes becomes something he has mastered completely upon waking. He memorizes the conditions for triggering Jiang Xuan's status screen, the trump cards of the major sects, and the loopholes the Heavenly Dao hid in the rules.
By day, he remains a con artist, full of lies. By night, he studies as if the answers were right in front of him. Jiang Xuan can save and reload, but Shen Yi uses his information advantage to cut him off in advance. Jiang Xuan issues quests, and Shen Yi snatches the rewards first. Jiang Xuan treats him as an NPC he must kill, but Shen Yi tricks Jiang Xuan's “gaming life” into a dead end.
But as Shen Yi climbs higher and higher, he realizes that Jiang Xuan is merely a beginner's quest in the Tianyuan Game. The true player pulling the strings has already spoken his name from the deepest reaches of the dream library.
