Nothing went his way, and after using an evil technique to return to infancy, he finally saw a glimmer of hope. He thought he was following the righteous path of an immortal sect, but he had become entangled in many karmic debts tied to the demonic path.

   A mortal cultivates immortality without a system. He transmigrates into the body of an old, blind beggar and accidentally obtains a method of rebirth. Although he has talent, the path is rugged, like a rollercoaster with its ups and downs. The plot twists and turns are unpredictable; reversals and desperate situations come too suddenly. It's very good; you won't get tired of it at all. I hope for early updates! [Requesting frequent updates]

    Unlike traditional novels that lack a systematic approach, or even the common clichés and mindless plots found in ordinary books, this one is completely devoid of such elements. It's a rebirth story featuring a high-IQ protagonist with superb writing. The plot is unlike any other formulaic story; the protagonist's intelligence is consistently high, his thinking is clear, and his logic is coherent. This is a true male-oriented novel that requires critical thinking to fully appreciate. The protagonist is self-serving! He truly utilizes future events to plan from the beginning, unlike other mindless novels where the protagonist is reborn and constantly provokes others. This book completely avoids such nonsensical plot points. The protagonist's intelligence is exceptional; although he plans his future path based on his past life's memories, his actions are skillful and sophisticated, always demonstrating caution and high intelligence. Furthermore, there are no mindless plot points; the logic is rigorous. The protagonist is an extremely self-interested individual—this is not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If you're looking for a mindless, feel-good story, look elsewhere! If you don't read this carefully, you'll miss a lot of foreshadowing. Be mindful while reading and don't skip ahead; every word or sentence might be a key element related to later plot developments. Also, the author's hidden clues will be explained later, perhaps in one, two, or even many chapters. From what I've read so far, there are practically no major problems, so you can read it with confidence. One more thing: don't read this without thinking, because some of the exciting moments are on the surface, while others are not. If you don't understand them, don't waste your time.

    I'd like to recommend two excellent female-centric novels. The first one features a female protagonist with extremely high emotional and intellectual intelligence, free from traditional moral constraints—a truly powerful female lead. The second one features a woman who uses every man she can manipulate, and having children isn't about being a pampered wife; it's about using everything she can to advance her own power. The entire story flows extremely smoothly.
