Long Zhantian transmigrated into a book, becoming the arrogant protagonist who was fated to be killed in a desperate reversal by the second male lead.
His opponent, Lin Yanzhou, knows the plot, has already seized the opportunities, and even knows that the heroines can read his thoughts. Other people draft their dialogue in advance; he rehearses even his "heartfelt words" eight times.
His master has disappeared, a wealthy family has broken off an engagement, and someone has divided up his sect's assets. At the Martial Alliance Tournament in ninety days, there are already people waiting to hold his funeral feast.
Long Zhantian has never read the script, but he handles the original owner's genuine martial arts skills just fine.
At the engagement-breaking banquet, he dropped a token while saving someone. That night, he went to the rendezvous point, retrieved the bronze plaque, took down their hideout, and casually rescued an old acquaintance who knew his master's whereabouts.
Watching the plot spiral out of control, Lin Yanzhou finally realizes that every time he backs Long Zhantian into a corner, he ends up losing even more.
"You can break off the engagement, but leave the things behind."
"You handle subverting the tropes."
"I'll make sure all your efforts are for nothing."
