At nineteen, the Heavenly Secrets Tower predicted he would die before turning twenty.
There was no solution.
No exceptions.
Until Lu Chenzhou obtained a jade slip of azure light.
It could steal destiny's fortune.
Anyone who harbored murderous intent toward him could have a sliver of their vitality stolen by him.
But each time he stole it, he had to pay a price.
His lifespan, his soul, his body, even the lives of those around him.
And so, a man who should have died began crawling out of one deadly predicament after another.
He sought neither dominion over the world nor eternal life.
He only wanted to live past twenty.
But as he lived longer and longer, the Heavenly Secrets revealed something that should never have happened:
A man condemned to die was slowly escaping his fate.
